first post

i am not sure if this blog thing is going to work for me. i am not very good at sitting down and writing meaningful statements. i enjoy reading other peoples blogs and do occasionally post on them. when i do end up posting i am usually aiming to provoke rather than have polite discussions about whatever issue. so i thought i’d try this blog thing so i could pick the topics. i don’t care if you are polite in your responses or you would like to respond with a visceral attack. i guess we will see how this goes and if there is any interest in these topics.
