new road

I began this blog a few years back not knowing where it would lead me or how long it would last. More often than not I lost interest in a writing project like this before finishing then it would be left there, half completed while I was left wondering if a different subject at its center could I have succeeded or not. This blog lasted longer than I first thought it would and while I enjoyed much of the reading and research related to some of my posts it seemed to always leave me working on the edges of what I really wanted to say and not getting into some matter that  held more interest for me . So although I did find some satisfaction in this blog I knew I needed to dig a little deeper and uncover what was really on my mind. Maybe this time I will actually let go enough and do just that, dig deeper to see what really is on my mind and in the process I may find out that there are others out there who feel the same as I, and who may have something to say on the subject as well. One can always hope.

Lately I'm being drawn in a different direction than that of politics alone and although politics are of great interest to me and will have effects on all of us and will be written about on occasion, it will not be the full source of my attention. Some subjects touched on in previous posts aside from politics have become of greater interest to me and I think from this point forward I will see how some of those interests manage to work themselves into what I write about.


Today's' world, seriously complicated already, continues to move into that zone where problems of one country directly affect another country and at a pace faster than any time in history.  In the past problems that came between countries were handled somewhat easier because there was that buffer zone of time which allowed a cooling down period and a correction of mistakes to take place before small problems became unmanageable. Now days with all our super quick communications and instant gratification we could and probably some day soon be forced to confront dangers unlike any time in history. Skirmishes and wars will begin to happen faster with less chance of solving them before they get out of hand. Collaboration between our enemies will continue to grow and our power around the world will diminish to near zero. We are on the brink of serious problems and how we decide to deal with them will determine if we survive or not.

So what do I write about now and where will it lead? I think I know the area I'm going to write about. As to how I go about getting there I have no earthly idea. I suppose I could turn my back to the wind and start walking or I could go to higher ground and look around for the best path. So with that being said, I'm pretty sure of the destination it is the path which may prove difficult. Either way to be credible will require being accurate with facts when I post if I hope to bring something to the table which will be of help or interest to someone. Who knows I may even double my readership. Wow that could mean bells, cheers, whistles and balloons when that happens. Can you imagine the celebration me and that other reader could have when that happens?
