| Bio: | A child of immigrants, seeking to chart a path for the journey. Policies: Permanent amnesty for friending/unfriending -- do what you want with regard to that, it's entirely your business, not mine. In other words, you don't have to ask, and you don't have to tell when you leave. (Not your mother here.) If you're old enough to think for yourself, you're welcome to be here. If you don't like it, you don't have to stay. All news links may be gacked and passed along without asking. But do ask first if you want to repost essays, and please do credit me. I don't like slams or slurs of any kind. I reserve the right to delete comments that include namecalling, trolling, offensive language, rudeness, picking fights, and the unwillingness to back up vague assertions with fact, sources or links. Repeated offenders will be banned from commenting. Life's too short for me to have to put up with that stuff. I write about many issues and ideas, some of them newslinked. If I post a link, you can take it. Sometimes I write essays. Ask before linking them. I post what interests me. This doesn't mean that it has always received the NY Times Gold Star of Approval. Ideas intrigue me, and the process of idea to rumor to story or not also intrigues me. This is not the NY Times. You are welcome to comment on what I post, but pleeeeeeeeeeeease read the entire post (particularly in the case of essays) and make your comment in the context of the entire post. If you think I've radically misunderstood something, email me; however, I have no obligation to reword what I write in order to agree with *your* views. If you insist on public commenting here to tell me to change what I wrote so it agrees with what you like, you are so gone. My journal is not your soapbox. You want to argue? Post about it in your own journal; this is not your jousting court, bullring or pool table. You want to discuss something politely and post links backing your views? Go to it. This isn't kindergarten -- do your homework! Don't expect anyone else to sort out your sloppy thinking. Put the information out there so people can make up their own minds. Free speech is not a license for you to do and say as you wish. And deleting your comments is not censorship; editing isn't censorship. Governments censor. I am not the government, and I do not have or want the power to throw you into prison without charges if you say something I don't like. (If this is unclear, please review Journalism 101, as well as the last ten years of news concerning the US government, news and public information. And, by the way, read the US Constitution.) I have been online for more than two decades, and in all that time I have been known to be plainspoken, outspoken, and able to outstubborn the entire U.S. Army mule corps. You don't like this? Why are you still here? You do like this? Pull up a chair, pour yourself your favorite tea, coffee or wine, and welcome. This journal's contents may vary wildly from the advertising, settle during transportation and contain nuts. | |||||||||
