Here There Be Dragons

Hi. Well I've never actually blogged before so bear with me and forgive my lack of proper sentence structure/rambling-ness.

I'd like to discuss, in brief, the notion of "truth" or the pursuit of truth in the social sciences as proposed by Luker in Salsa dancing into the social sciences. I must say that I partially agree with Luker in her assertion that searching for the objective truth is like pursuing Zen enlightenment, difficult to achieve but worth the journey. Although, truthfully *lol* I lean more towards the group who believes that the idea of an objective truth is like finding a Komodo dragon in the back yard, possible but not likely.I personally believe that everything is subjective, that knowledge and "facts" are forever entwined in/with bias, which is perfectly alright so long as you remember its there. Yet like Luker I enjoy the journey, the challenge of trying to find that elusive objectivity.

I'll stop now 'cuz I've run out of room.
