We’ve all heard the well-worn phrase “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Perhaps it’s true. But not all who are imitated are flattered and emulation does not equate to assent and affiliation. Free speech is a glorious concept and we will be the first in line to defend the right of expression, whether inspirational or confrontational. Or, frankly, even foolish.
So we acknowledge the recent proliferation of new blogs to the fray. Just don’t associate the views of the imitators with those of the imitated.
This blog and this writer have taken a break since the election, a necessary breather after the fractious clamor of a chaotic summer in our little Eden. But we have not gone away. We will continue to bring you food for thought, some sweet, some savory, with perhaps a necessary sprinkle of bitter here and there. You may chuckle, you may fume but we hope you are provoked to think. Regardless, our words will continue to be sincere, well-intended and factual.
And they will only be found here.
Stay informed.
