Policies, Rules and other Fun Facts

Welcome!

An age old tale: A Social Worker and a Nihilist fall in love, don't get married and decide to create a blog together. The blog is a cute little thing... all flat and lifeless. We name her "Chasing The Why" and vow to be the best blog parents ever. We invite you on our journey to raise this blog. Watching her grow and explore. Trying desperately to find the answers to all of life's little (and big) questions. Both the simple and the paradoxical. Because all of us, at most times in our lives, are Chasing The Why.

==================================================

Our philosophy:  "What is important is to keep learning, to enjoy challenge, and to tolerate ambiguity. In the end there are no certain answers." -- Martina Horner 

This blog is all about fun and educational conversation.  Trying to think about things in a different way.  Talking outside of the box in an attempt to understand each other and the world around us a little better.

==================================================

POLICIES:

Commenters: Our only policy is that you stay polite. No nasty posts. If you can’t be civil then go somewhere else. Bring your education and opinion in, but please leave your bigotry and ignorance at the door.

We encourage strong opinions and disagreements, but we ask that you do remain respectful of others.  No name-calling, cap-locked ranting or stupid insulting phrases (we will not post any comments that contain "Dumbocrat", "NObama", "Libtard", "Tea Baggers", and other juvenile phrases).   We reserve the right to delete or not publish any posts that do not adhere to our philosophy of respect. 

Guest Bloggers:   The policy for Commenters apply here as well, but we also have additional policies for our Guest Bloggers:  
          1)  Please stay intelligent.  You can be intelligent-funny, 
                intelligent-angry, intelligent-hippie... it's all okay 
                here - just remember the "intelligent" part please.  
          2)  If your submission is a complete opinion piece, please let us 
                know.  If it is a piece stating facts, statistics, etc. then please
                site where you got your information.  
          3)  Not a policy but a request:  Think outside of the box.  Be 
                fabulous, be funky, be fastidious, be funny, be far-out, 
                be free!  (ran out of "f" words, but you get the point)  But most of all
                be first.  Try to be the first one to look at something with
                new eyes and a new point of view.

We also love suggestions!  Have an idea to make our blog better?... let us know!

Thanks for stopping by. We hope you have as much fun here as we do!
