Blogging for the People

Some of my friends (you know who you are) have been asking me to comment on issues regularly. I appreciate the compliment.

But one or two have become a little too enthusiastic in that request, inadvertently (I'm Certain) degrading it into a demand, complete with specifics on detail. manner and frequency, that that is absolutely unacceptable. It smacks too much of (a) I am someone's property, to be defined and deployed at their will and not my own, and (b) "...from each according to ability...."

I like blogging, actually. And I plan to do more. I like the suggestion of one friend that I shoot for a topic a week. And I invite topical suggestions via email. It's more fun for me if I can imagine an interested person who might benefit from my effort.

But I do not respond well to chiding and criticism, and I really am unconcerned about what people think of me. (You, who also knows who you are): when you say you are doubting that I am the leader you thought I'd be, you should more honestly be saying that you doubt that I will perform as the leader you want me to be instead of whatever type of leader I may be. I suggest you open your mind to surprise.

So let's keep it respectful, and I'll play. Thanks!
