Do we need another Blog?

I have considered having a blog for quite a while now, but up until this moment, I sort of backed away from it. Not sure why really...maybe the expectation I feel to hopefully write something interesting, or at least thought provoking for others. I do enjoy reading other people's blogs, and have had a few people suggest to me that I should try it. The people who know me well would tell you that I seem to have something to say on almost everything, and that I am fairly opinionated...very, some would say....hmmm...maybe they were referring to my rants, rather than my musings on various ideas and subjects.

It doesn't take much these days to set off a rant, considering the state of the world, and the bullheadedness of our President, and his cadre of puppet masters who are directing him down a very dangerous road, and dragging us all along with them. Something has to be done, and done quickly before all our credibility as a nation is lost. So....everyone really does have to pay attention to the details...inform themselves, so they can see where the deceptions lie, and how easy it is to fool a public...the majority, it seems...who don't stay informed, either through laziness or lack of interest. So many people don't pay attention to what is going on in the world around them. They don't seem to be aware of the slow, almost imperceptible, eroding away of our basic freedoms in the name of protection. The President, and the neocon group surrounding him, are using fear...fear of terrorists...and especially fear of an act of terrorism here in this country again.. to control and direct the masses, and to strip away basic rights. And people are letting them do it, with barely a whimper. All I can say is, if you do nothing else before Election Day, take some time to find out what is really going on behind the curtain....AND VOTE!!!!!
