Why Do I Write?

I am occasionally asked why I write a blog, in my case it is four blogs, often on the same subject matter. Actually it amounts to four as they fall into a somewhat liberal newspaper, the Austin American Statesman, a conservative My Fox Austin, and an independent, http://www.tellmeyouridea.com/.

There is a simple reason for this diversity, the most important being that I do not feel so self important that I tell my readers what to think or vote. I often refer to myself as an on balance independent, and try to see all sides of any given question.

I have a tremendous respect for the native intelligence of the average citizen and it does not make one whit to me whether they are college graduates or grade school dropouts. As is often the case, applied common sense, should be the means of making a decision having to do with ones personal life or high level governmental matters.

I wish that more folks would respect the other guys opinion and would show them the courtesy of actually listening, instead of as so often turning a deaf ear to someone who has been put in some political
”box”.

If we American citizens would start pulling on the same end of the rope, we cold quickly find that we could get a lot of things done more quickly and pleasantly.

Try it, you just might like it, and have some fun at the same time.
