Ranting

I have been ranting a lot lately.

I don’t imagine that what I have to say is of much interest to many people, I just need to get it out. I get frustrated when I see so many uninformed stories on line or on the TV, or stories that only give you half the information or deliberately misinform for whatever reason.

I am not a source of otherwise unobtainable information. I just read things. And I have opinions. Sometimes I just need to get these things off of my chest just for my own sake. Sometimes I am hyperbolic, and I haven’t plotted a parabola in decades.

But it is aggravating and writing some of this just makes it worse by focusing my attention on things that undoubtedly raise my blood pressure. I want to make sure the information is out there, but since I can find it of course other people can. It’s just me ranting. And I’m not sure that is such a good idea.

There are some things that are important to me – well, there are a lot of things that are important to me but a few specifically that have been in the news lately. I have this thing for justice, at least as I see it.

So I am posting opinions – as if you didn’t know that. I have them whether I write about them or not but writing about them makes me think about them more. I may need to take a break and go back to posting about myself. That was the reason for this blog in the first place. At least with that I may be doing some good. Anyone who knows me who wants to know what is going on with me can find it here, and if I can share something with someone who is searching for someone who had a similar experience then that is a good thing.

Besides, it helps me to get information about myself out there. On that topic I am an expert and an otherwise unobtainable source of information. So I am going to try to tone things down a bit, for everyone’s sake. I do have some things that I want to report on. Writing about things helps me work them out and putting them on a public blog makes them a little more real. No, I’m not being metaphysical, it’s just that if other people see them then I have made a commitment to saying them. When I’m not ranting that can help me clarify my thinking. If I need to make a personal point I focus and try to be informative and clear.

Except in this post.

So, now that I’ve posted the rants that I’ve written in the past few days, onward with less ranting and more sedate posts.

We’ll see how that goes.
