A Second Birth!

I'm going to try a new strategy, follow Andrew Sullivan's model, and keep my posts mostly short, well thought out and concise. Time will tell if this can be successful. The title, in addition to its original simple meaning, also refers one of my common strategies for learning which is to break up a concept into pieces and learn about them by breaking up those into additional little pieces. I'm not sure if this exactly makes sense, hence the title again.
