When I made the conscious decision to take up my blog again, I said early on that I planned to focus on political stuff. I was looking for a place where I could share my perspective on the issue of the day without the partisan bickering of Facebook. This is my little corner of the interwebs, so I can generally say what I want. Nobody can comment on this blog without my consent, meaning that I don't need to worry about the trolls. And with a readership of almost zero, that's not an issue anyway.
You may also notice in the earlier post that I expressed the hope I would one day return to mundane blather. Oddly enough, I'm already sick of the politics and have indeed returned to sharing my thoughts on uneventful occurrences. I expected this would turn into a virtual version of me screaming, ranting and raging in an empty room. Instead, it's a virtual version of me spewing a relatively disjointed and unfocused stream of consciousness in an empty room. I'm good with this, it's just not quite what I expected.

I agree- it's strange to me that I had a full house of followers before(all online and barely knew anything about me) and now I dont. Like you, I'm okay with that. More freedom to say exactly what I want to. I have to admit- I do like to read your political posts- I've learned a lot reading them because I tend to NOT follow politics because of my blood pressure issues. Sometimes I agree with you, sometimes I don't, but it's always good to be able to hear about politics and be able to ask questions if I have them and not be told I'm ignorant or stupid or just completely ignored by the author.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. (No pun intended.) When I post political comments, I diligently to share my thoughts in a coherent manner. The loss of civil discourse is a large part of why we're so unreasonably divided.
