See Ya Later...For Now
After having written ninety-some entries over the past six plus months, I'm going to take some time to contemplate what might be next for this blog. I'm gratified that the readership, purely by word-of-mouth, has escalated substantially—reaching several thousand hits in each of the past few months. However, the back and forth discourse and exchange of divergent views has been conspicuously lacking. The real value of these things, I believe, is when they are two-way. I'm disappointed that I've been less than successful in stimulating family and friends, with some exceptions, to help get the snowball rolling downhill.
Nevertheless, thanks to those of you who have found the time to pay attention and give me feedback, and much appreciation to those of you who were not hesitant to share your views on a host of important topics.
I'll likely be back blogging in the not too distant future. Hope you'll stay tuned.

Say it ain't so Chuck. I just started reading your new posts, and scrolling through some old-ones. It's been interesting reading. Go forth, and enjoy spring. Hit'em straight.

Sorry to hear you will not be sharing your thoughts. I find them interesting, stimulating, thought provoking and mostly on the mark. Hope to read more in the near future.

I am sorry to see this blog go, as I found it to be hands down the most informative, well-reasoned editorial on our political system and the global economic situation that I have come across on the Internet or otherwise. It has done a service to those who read it consistently, and it has offered an accessible way into varied and complex issues. I regret that you are discontinuing the entries and salute you for your dedication to them. The lack of participation was by no means a reflection of the quality of the project, rather a phenomenon of the indiscriminate nature of viral Internet trends. I look forward to its next incarnation.

Kind words; much appreciated. Guess you don't know what people think until death (the blog's that is) is imminent.

sorry to see you go, but I was going to write my counter perspectives several times since I so disagree with what I read as your right-leaning bias'. But I find my actual background knowledge of the facts or inability to be as prolific as you dwarfed my courage to do so... until maybe this reply... since no facts were required, lol.
nonetheless... great job on your blogging. cya on the links!!

My only biases are for limited government pragmatism and intellectual honesty. I support good ideas, and have disdain for bad ideas; regardless of party affiliation.
I have a lot of content out there; don't hesitate to share your views. I and others will respond. Diversity of opinion makes the world go round. It's the best way to learn and become more understanding/accepting.
Thanks for your readership.
I'll be back with fresh posts sometime soon.

Although I have not always agreed with your opinions, I have learned more about current political events in the short time that you have been writing your blog than I ever have from any other source. Many times I have had to ask you for further explanation or clarification which spurred discussion. I believe that the lack of response by your readers, has nothing to do with their enjoyment of the material, but maybe like me, their feelings of inadequacy on political subjects. I hope you will reconsider and continue to blog for those of us who strive for knowledge on sometimes difficult topics.
