The goal of Arrowsplitter is to roll a stone through politics and culture and hope the stone gathers enough moss to create the organic base for a conversation about the issues - large and small, profound and trivial - that define our time. While it's impossible to completely avoid bias, the idea is that the posts and comments go beyond the lazy and increasingly fractious "right" and "left" designations and blind devotion to tired ideologies. Truth is the only ideology here, however elusive and uncomfortable "truth" may be. And seeking it means challenging oneself and others to constantly re-evaluate their own positions, sharpening them or abandoning them through reasoned argument.
Certainly there are millions of other blogs and sites that are attempting the same thing (some of these will get mentions and links as we move forward). Whether this one has any success, or offers anything new to the cluttered universal Conversation, depends on the quality of what we do. Whoever's paying attention, please let us know whether you think we're holding up our end of the bargain. And feel free to give us a slap if we're not.
