To Blog or Not To Blog
Blogs are about opinions, and offer an excellent opportunity for opinions to be more far-reaching than one’s dog’s ears, say. Not that dogs are not the best listeners in the world, as long as there is a tasty treat at the end of the monologues their owners trouble them with, but, their contribution to problem-solving is a bit minimal. Here enters the larger cerebral cortex to limbic system ratio of the homo sapien neurological system—the ability to do something more than on impulse or fight or flight response or genetic propensity for. And I love that blogs can be commented on—I think the comment feature still works on mine, so if you read something on my blog that you would like to comment on, please do. It’s the only way I know that anyone is reading my blog, actually, since I’m soundly based in fact, not fiction, or heresay, or gossip, or the “did you hear”, and most of all, definitions and numbers. If the comment section is unsuccessful, there’s always my personal email address. The art of conversation, debate, and maybe even problem-solving.
