blogging about the worlds in which we live
Read On!
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:
- Articles about the right-wing hubris of which we hear and see so much today
- More about the hysteria over taxes, health insurance, and so forth
- A little tale about backpacking, apparitions, visions, and Hogback Mountain
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.
Comments?
Keep Up the Good Work[s]: Do Not Enter a Comment!
Both of us know that
- You can enter a comment using your Facebook account
- The Comments link serves the same function as the turn signal for drivers in Maryland: it’s purely cosmetic in nature
Comments? 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
Uh-oh! “Dialectic?” How will you not think I may be a Marxist (remember the “Marxist dialectic” in high school?).
Perhaps you will think me a student of Socrates, Plato, or Hegel.
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.
