Throw in some Etta James for me and the list couldn't be completed without some bluegrass. Though by no means fully complete with just those few either. I enjoy a little angry rock along with my angst rock.

A lot of people speak of life being unfair as a fact without once considering the actions taken by themselves and others to make it a fact.

My box? I'd challenge the validity of the facts presented. I'm not talking gravity, evolution, or the earth not being flat, etc. of course.

Example being those who claim the poor are lazy as fact. It doesn't have to be an actual fact if that's the conclusion/"fact" a person puts in their first box - all the rest of the boxes will fill up with beliefs/evidence supporting the desired conclusion labeled a "fact".

But the motives of power/authority for claiming something as fact.

I even challenge my own. So I don't let myself off the hook. I'm a glutton that way. Motives can be as fluid as water.

And I'm not even really at the box yet much less the rest of your essay. lol

See what I mean? My mind does wander.
