"Never before have so many people with so little to say, said so much to so few" quoted my daughter from her 2009 Demotivator Calendar. While the statement succintly describes many peoples attitudes towards the phenomenon that is blogging, and may in fact apply to a majority of the diatribes one reads out in cyberspace, this writer hopes to not only develop a following of like minded individuals but build a community as well.

In a world that is becoming increasing insular, with the overzealous arbitreurs of political correctness stifling what we have left of free speech at every turn, hordes of people like myself are turning to the wide reach and anonymity offered by the internet and blogging in general to give full rein to free expression of thoughts and opinions that traditional media outlets seem hell bent on stifling at every turn. Our democracy cannot thrive in a climate where every special interest group gets its undies in a twist and cries foul when confronted with differing opinions or attitudes. Let this be my humble contribution towards offsetting the situation.

Surely there are many out there who feel as I do - I'm looking for you!

Are you with me?
