blogging about the worlds in which we live

Those of you—both of you—who check out this blog of mine will be happy to find some new, or newer, material.

As you know, there are high-volume Web sites. And then, there’s this Web site…

Some of the blogs that await you now include items about:

• A little tale about backpacking, apparitions, visions, and Hogback Mountain
• The Oath Keepers and other groups
• A couple of items about the Tea Party “movement”

Do ignore the articles I’ve categorized as “Discourses,” please. I write some fairly personal things in those items; you definitely should not concern yourselves with them.

No Comments

For crying out loud: Please Do Not Enter a Comment! Both of us know that the Comments function is there to serve the same function that the turn signal serves most drivers: it’s purely cosmetic in nature. Just there for show. That’s all. You don’t really want to begin, or contribute to, a conversation, do you?

What’s The Point?

I don’t write here to find out if I can write or to incite others. Discussion—discourse—is a good thing, something to be prized. However, the important thing is the maturity of thought through the synthesis (catharsis) of examination and re-examination.

Opinions

I do, really, change my opinions. Or, at least I refine my opinions. When we give voice to an idea, then we can sit back and reevaluate it; compare the feelings and understandings we had when we first expressed that idea to our experiences subsequent to its expression.

If you read further, you may find that I don’t always write in the same tone or voice. Yes, there may be a certain inconsistency in my approach to different subjects. That’s because the subjects are, well, different. I have been accused by some of possessing a fairly dry sense of humor. Others claim that I am just sarcastic. Oh, well. There’s more than enough irony in our world; giving expression to it is not a bad thing.
