Hello Everyone

Hello Everyone,

I hope that as time goes on everyone will have find something of interest on this blog. I will no doubt be dealing with a wide variety of subjects and issues that I consider pertinent, depending on what is going on in the world at the time. It is my hope that by visiting my blog and spending a moment or two looking around you will each find something to take with you. Maybe it will an interesting saying to ponder the meaning of, or a bit of information to apply to your life, or possibly just a realization that you aren’t alone in the feelings or opinions you have. Better yet, I hope as time goes on, we each realize that we are only one cog in the wheel of life and that by working together we can and will improve this world we call home.

Please don’t expect a professional writer on this blog because I’m most definitely not. I’m simply one person out there in Middle America with thoughts and feelings you may find familiar or you may find to be the exact opposite of your own. At all times I will welcome comments and criticisms concerning anything I write or refer to. I ask and demand only a few things from those who care to share their thoughts and comments. Number one; keep it pertinent to the issue at hand. If you’d like me to tackle a different subject you are welcome to suggest it. Or just check back because as time goes on I will no doubt get around to dealing with a wide variety of issues. Number two; I will not tolerate foul language or disrespect to myself or anyone else. If you have not figured out how to get your point across without using the “f” word or the “b” word or any other such foul language then this is definitely not the place for you. Remember, foul language is NOT a sign of maturity. Number three; always be considerate of others who choose to post here. It doesn’t matter whether their feelings and opinions match your own or not. What does matter is consideration and manners for your fellow human being. Beyond that I can be pretty open minded and will try to see the wisdom in everyone’s feelings and opinions regardless of whether I agree with them or not.

The issues I’ll be dealing with, as time goes on, will be as wide and varied as the world around us. One major topic I will no doubt spend a good portion of time on is the United States and our government. As a committed Independent I will no doubt rail on both major parties on a regular basis. Anyone who is a far left Democrat or a neo-conservative Republican will no doubt find me to be a festering thorn in their side. It’s obvious the Republican Party is on massive doses of Viagra and the Democratic Party desperately needs some. That makes both parties power hunger for their own reasons and care little if anything for their constituents so they will no doubt provide me with plenty of fodder.

With all this having been said, set back and take a breather, share some of your own thoughts, and enjoy the ride.
