Blog: A Learning Tool

After less than a couple of weeks of blogging I've learned a few things.  First, I wish I was a much better speller and proof reader.  Writing has never been my strong suit.  I have opinions on everything, but I am not always able to express them in writing.  But, I can see how blogging regularly helps me improve my skills.

Second, I feel I am learning far more from you than you are from me.  Your comments really help me gain new perspectives.  It's refreshing to know there are so many intelligent people out there (but still not nearly enough).  The problem is  the dumb asses of the world get way too much attention, i.e. Sarah, Glen, and Rush.

Last, but not least, I have a new confidence in our liberal minded community.  I know there are a lot of really good-hearted people out there who will be our future leaders.  Things are really looking up.

Welcome to "IF I WERE KING"

First of all, let me assure you that I do believe in democracy. But from time to time, I just wish I was in charge so I could bring about some type of change without giving a damn about numerous ass kissing procedures to make it happen. Hence, I want to be an occasional King and not a President. I want to see a wrong, or just something that pisses me off, and come up with automatic solutions. However, sometimes I just like to shout out my own opinions. My family will assure you I don’t have a shortage of opinions. Some you might agree with, some you shouldn’t. Others might get you thinking about your own take on a particular subject.

Kings can have an opinion on anything and most people won’t tell them they’re full of it. But, don’t worry if you disagree with me, I promise not to behead you. Hell, my own family thinks I am nuts from time to time. Sometimes I just like to tell a story. It might be a story about an event in my life. I might want to talk about a book I recently read. Who knows? Basically I like to talk about politics, social wrongs, sports and other things that drive my family from the room. If I Were King, they would have to stay and listen – followed by a quiz.
