Going Forward......

  This entry will be a departure from my previous posts because it is about this blog. I will not be railing against the many faults of the politicians that "know best for us" but about who gets these rants, who reads, them and who doesn't. As you might have guessed I write these entries as an outlet of my frustrations with things I perceive as out of kilter. I welcome comments but rarely get any. It is really not about getting into arguments with anyone. I enjoy political debate as much as the next guy but in this day of people getting offended if you look at them wrong I generally don't engage folks anymore. And that's fine. As a child of the 60's we cut our teeth on very defined arguments so I bring my "A game" to every fray.

   So here is the deal. I have been writing this blog for over 5 years. Actually more that 6 years as the first entry was on May 24, 2007, but the commentaries started in earnest in August of 2008.  As I sit here this morning I think it is time to do some housekeeping. Some of you have been with me from the start, some are recent additions. I am needing to know whether I should keep sending you the notifications of posts in the future. This is going to require a positive response to the email you get with this post. If I do not receive a positive response to keep sending them to you by next Friday, January 3rd, I will remove you from the distribution. No hard feelings I just don't want to be "that guy" sending unwanted emails. Times change, perspectives change, and my rants may not do it for you.

   When I started this blog I always intended the distribution to be limited. I never promoted it, never posted my entries to social media, or any such wide broadcast. It is apparent that my opinions do not mesh with the current political climate and that is okay. I do not apologize for anything I have written here and, if I continue, my opinions will remain unvarnished. The truth is the truth no matter how many politicians and lawyers try to tell you different!

   So I will await your response; or not. Regardless, Happy New Year!
