Welcome ....
to Perspectively Speaking by Hanson
I'm making a change in 2017 .... I'm not going to stop my political commentary or insight, nor am I going to compromise or back down on my strong beliefs in what is truth and what is fiction when it comes to the Media. However I am going to limit this commentary to this Blog. FB is becoming a place where friends and family have become polorized because of the last 8 years, and the recent election. I still feel that dicusssion and debate is critical to arrive at the right balance of what is fact versus fiction, but I am making an effort by utilizing this Blog to keep it in a forum where people want to be here and engage versus being hit in the face with daily commentary with either little interest or no interest at all.
So I will still use FB as notification to check out this Blog ... making occassional references to the link plus my link to my Belt Doctor Blog as well ....but if you want to go and read or participate, you will have to make that choice.
I know this will be a relief to many family and friends that think of me as the cranky old guy in the corner who always has an opinion... while that may be true, and it may not align with your stances or beliefs on issues, at least I do have an active interest in wanting our Country to live up to the opportunities and standards that I was able to take advantage of as I grew up, so I will continue to fight for that and voice my opinion .... good, bad, or indifferent - I'm not going away, just a different venue and a selective choice to participate.
I hope you visit, I hope we can debate in a mature and friendly manor...and above all I value all my family and friends, regardless of our politics or leanings. Life is made up of diverisity and uniqueness .... that's what is so precious about America. Freedom of choice, Freedom of speech, Freedom of religion ... all under a Constitution that protects our rights and protects our Republic.
Happy New Year .... welcome to my First New Year's Resolution to keep FB for fun and event recaps .... and my Blogs for specific focus and interests!
Have a great day and here's to a fantastic 2017!
Gary
