For years I have remained silent about a great many ideas I have had because I thought that all reasonable people shared them, and so the ideas were not worth stating. Gradually, and tragically in some cases, I have learned that I was wrong. The world was not really waiting for my great and extraordinary thoughts, but rather the ones I believed to be commonplace and banal.
So here I am, taking my shot at the blog monster, saying my say and getting out the truth as I have come to understand it. Feel free to shoot back, and I usually will reply forthwith. Nevertheless, I will also feel free to ignore you. I shall rant about all the big issues and many of the little ones, treating this blog as my own editorial page, and myself as good ol' Charley Kane.
Enjoy the ride.
