Good luck. I wish my blog were more successful. Some days, I have so much I want to shout from the rooftops to the folks who just don’t seem to get it, or who are too mired in the sports team mentality of politics to open their eyes and see what’s really wrong in this country.

Other days, though, I’m so disillusioned with where we are, the path we’re on, and the seeming blindness and/or apathy of the electorate that it seems like too much of a hassle. Why shout into the wind when your words will merely blow away?

I will say, though, good luck if you decide to run for office. I have too many unpopular beliefs, I don’t believe I could ever get elected to any position higher than mayor of a small town.

And truth be told, although I believe I am pretty good at recognizing what we as a country are doing WRONG, that skill is fairly common. It takes a special sort of individual to figure out what we SHOULD be doing, instead of merely casting barbs at the mistakes.

Nevertheless, if as part of your new campaign with fellow bloggers you could use publicity with the four or five regular readers I have, feel free to let me know, I can put something up there and point people in your direction.

Liam.

H.I., Aurelius, Jon, Liber Paul, Ria, and Shea- Thanks for your kind words, support, and continued interest.

Don’t worry- Common Sense isn’t going away, just evolving. I look forward to many more conversations with all of you in the weeks and months to come.

I wish you a lot of luck on your endeavor. Even though I don’t always agree you have a great ability to express your opinions.

You are a braver man then I am if you are considering a run for any public office, but again if you decide to good luck.

regards –

Windspike- Not to worry…I’m sure to still have longer than average posts from time to time. I think it is in my nature. But change is vital, as you note, and the value of continuing in this vain in perpetuity will soon become little more than rehashing what I have already said before.

But by addressing specifics, I think I can infuse Common Sense in issues of the day, helping people see through the BS by providing critical thought instead of just sound bites.

Likely, future posts will run 1 1/2 to 2 pages instead of the current 3-4.

I’m glad you’ll be joining me!

Change is good. And any organization (even if it is only an institution of one) is more vital, vibrant, and viable if it has constant and continous change built into its infrastructure.

I do have say, however, that I am going to miss your longer posts. These were refreshing and different than most blogs out there. Anyone who has not taken the tiem to read them is missing out. Fortunately, cyberspace is large and the curious can plow though your archives at any time.

I look forward to whatever direction you point your compass toward and also would love to come along for the ride. I’m in.
