I put "Because it's fun", since nothing else matched closely and I find the search for knowledge and truth to be enjoyable. There are two paths to happiness in this world. One is through enlightenment and one is through ignorance. Our minds make it easiest to go with the latter route while always having the capacity for the former. I only wish I could remember to be on the path to enlightenment more often.
It's fun...
1) I enjoy spotting a statement that is inconsistent with history, logic, or both and taking a crack at offering some illumination.
2) I like it when someone else does the same to/for me. I get to learn.
3) Once in a long while we get to go in-depth on something: Hamdan vs Rumsfeld, The Palin troopergate case, Plame, Did Bush lie us into War? come to mind where I got to do both 1 and 2.
