blogging

Hello All. It’s been awhile. I note that a couple of my buddies here wondered at my prolonged absence. Bax asked if anything was wrong and yes, unfortunately, there is,. Two weeks ago I received word that my father has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer which has metastasized to brain tumors. Currently he is getting radiation treatments and perhaps following up with chemotherapy. As you might well understand, very little has risen to that degree of importance in my life. Now that things are settling down, I feel a bit more comfortable in rejoining our group. I am also amused by some changes. RichK defending churches? What next? Cats sleeping with dogs? OH!!! The Humanity!!!.     :>)

How about you guests signing up and let us know your opinion on things.

We all need diverse opinions. Love to hear from you.

Those who give up freedom for security have neither 

I am new to this whole blogging deal.  I've seen it lots of places, and have read about alot of issues that I had an opinion of one way or the other.  Being a journalist at heart but not profession it has been difficult for me to turn away at times.  I was excited when My Clay Sun provided the opportunity at a local level to chime in.

Here is my topic on my own little page.  After reading so many of the different blogs the same thoughts keep running through my head.   I guess tension and anger is just boiling over everywhere.  The art of giving an opinion or an idea without someone taking a personal shot at someone on the other side of the fence appears all but gone.  With regards to Ann Coulter, her political views aside I tend to not listen to mean mouthed people.   I also don't understand why in a nation known as the great melting pot why stereotyping runs so rampant.  There is a difference between a stereotype and statistical fact and I doubt that there are any statistics for negative comments about the residents in Clay County I've read here.  I am also not to be pitied because I happen to like something as inconsequential as a tv show that someone else doesn't.
