Hello. I have decided to branch out, and start a blog of writings about my thoughts on life, values, the world, where I came from... you name it! This is something I have wanted to do for quite awhile, but never seemed to have time for. Well, time marches on, and I think there is no better time to do this than now!
We are 2 days from our next Presidential election, and this has been one of the most interesting election seasons, albeit the LONNNNNNNGEST, that I can remember! On the one hand, I am thrilled that so many people have taken an interest. Apathy is something I have feared for a long time... apathy means people just don't care enough about what's going on to be bothered to study the issues, and go stand in line to cast their vote. That's how people get into office that really don't belong there... no one cares enough to stand up and support the other guy. I don't think we can say that is the case this year!
On the other hand, I see a lot of evidence that we are still suffering from massive hostility between the two parties. I have seen large numbers of blog postings that radiate hate and disharmony... Lord, how I miss civil discourse, with facts to back up statements! I really miss William F. Buckley, Jr., who in my opinion was one of the great debaters of my time!
But I digress.... I really don't want this blog to be about politics, which I hate! I want it to be about the things I hold dear, and why. So, for anyone who has stumbled upon this blog, stay tuned... I hope to make this a pleasant, thought-provoking place to visit. More later...
