Recently, I applied for a position with Examiner.com for an online column under the heading "free thinker." The column below is what I submitted. I heard nothing from them. I realized that I had a lot of ideas in my head for columns along the same general theme and length. My girlfriend suggested that I preserve them somehow. This blog is that line of thinking brought to fruition. The one problem that I had with Examiner.com's requirements was the need to write in the second or third person. My observations are personal and will include more first person composition.
My previous blog, The Age of Accountability, was more wide ranging. I think that is one reason why I stopped writing it. There were so many topics to cover that I couldn't handle them all and I felt a bit of creative paralysis. That will not happen here. I also tended to be very verbose on my other blog. These pieces will be shorter and more focused, easier to digest and designed to provoke thought.
My girlfriend has also brought a much needed element of stability to my life. She has made me realize that no matter how much insanity I see in daily life, there are just as many examples of people who are fighting back against it. That is why I invite any reader to send me an example of the fight against mass insanity to my main e-mail address: dak0521@yahoo.com. I will be glad to post it.
