Walter Partos, of PARTOS CO, has started his own blog. I recently said that although I hope to benefit others by linking to them from my blog, I recognized that This Is A Race is a pretty selfish outlet and that I mainly do it so I get more hits to my site. I don't feel that way about Walter having a blog. I'm really excited to hear more from him:

There are few things are narcissistic as a blog. My whole life, I have loved getting others to think, to consider the world in a new way. Hopefully, along the way to get them to laugh. To have fun. There is a look people have when you have gotten through, when you have changed their world view even a little bit, I live for those moments.

I want to do interviews and get to understand that person. All walks of life. There is a news story about a surgeon who hurt quite a few people by his actions. I would like to find out,"what was his internal monologue that allowed him to keep going, to keep hurting people." I want to interview Noam Chomsky about what an "ideal state is, how does it function? what would his place in it be?". I want to understand. I believe that we have to understand what it is before we can have any meaningful conversation about what we would like it to be. I think the deepest enjoyment in the world comes from understanding.

Make me understand, Walter!
