Welcome to Greek Chorus

I though I'd start things off by telling you a little about the genesis of this blog. The three primary contributors, Cassandra, Hector, and myself, have all been friends for many years and all have quite the appetite for kindly, yet at times heated, discourse regarding the weighty issues of the day.

Our interests are somewhat varied, but we all share a love for the discussion of politics, legal issues, foreign policy, and economics. While none of us are experts on any of these topics, our backgrounds and experiences give us all what we think is the ability to comment critically and constructively and hopefully in a way which is not too often partisan, shrill, or misleading.

While our own styles, points of view and biases will no doubt become quite apparent as this blog evolves, its worth noting that it took us nearly a month just to decide on the pseudonyms and the name for the blog. Many, many, many iterations were proposed, debated, amended, and abandoned before we finally arrived where we are. Perhaps Cassandra or Hector will feel moved to fill in some of the details....

And with that, we're off and running.
