I started this blog to share fun stuff with folks. I also wanted to be able to speak my peace on stuff. One of my goals was to have an intelligent commentary and discussion of things that impact our lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But\u2026 speaking my peace never happened. I have friends across the spectrum of opinions. Opinions are like noses (and other things), everybody has one. I was afraid that I might offend some of my friends, so I just left out at least half of what I wanted this blog to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What bothers me most these days is people I consider dear friends &#8220;sharing&#8221; posts without checking out the validity of the post. There is so much &#8220;fake&#8221; stuff on the internet. People blindly re-post the fake stuff because it&#8217;s on their side of the fence. Of course, it&#8217;s all false or misleading\u2026 or misdirection, but that doesn&#8217;t stop the re-post.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But I&#8217;ve had #ENOUGH of the political correctness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I say to my friends, &#8220;Please, please, don&#8217;t take my posts on political stuff personally. I want to express an opinion for you to consider. I hope I communicate with thought and maybe a little insight for you to think about. I also want to debunk some of those bogus posts that are re-posted a lot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You don&#8217;t have to agree with me. In fact, I hope you take the time to thoughtfully express differences if you have them. Although this is a &#8220;monitored&#8221; blog, differing opinions will always be posted if they are not just blasting people for having an opinion. Excessive profanity or personal attacks will not clear the filter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With all that said, I&#8217;m going to start posting again. I will continue to post fun stuff as often as I can. In fact, I&#8217;m going to be posting about a &#8220;road trip\u201d to Key West. But&#8230; I can no longer ignore all the crapola that&#8217;s flying around and will be posting about that too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next post\u2026 &#8220;I Support the Second Amendment&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted.
