As has been the case lately that stupid day job has been interfering with the important things in my life. Well, what can you do? They pay me a princely salary and I don’t really get much done. It’s hard to walk away. But I will persevere and keep the content coming as best I can.
I’ve got some Shakespeare movies that I’ll review. I’m still about 70 pages from the end of “The Age of Entitlement.” As I’ve said, it’s painful to read but it’s an amazing story of how we got where we are in a step by step narrative.
I think the Monday morning (or Sunday night to be completely technical) post won’t be on the 2020 race or big things in the news. I think I want to talk about practical things we can do day to day to improve our lives while living under the thumb of Big Brother (who by the way, doesn’t really love us).
And finally, I’ve got to figure out some way to get more comments from the folks out there. Especially when we get lots of new viewers. It’s way too quiet. Maybe some sort of contest. So if any of you folks know of effective way to increase comments, I’m definitely interested in ideas.
I generally comment only when I think I can add to what you’ve (or a commenter) said. I don’t comment just to comment. If I don’t think I can add something to the conversation I keep my mouth shut and my fingers away from the keyboard.
A very reasonable course of action. Unfortunately most of the readers don’t comment at all. I want to tempt them to jump in.
I’m with War Pig on this. I’ve been thinking though… unfortunately, I’ve got nothing yet, as far as helpful ideas go.
Other than the standby, “Throw-something-so-blatantly-horribly-awful-out-to-rile-some-feathers” approach.
Jason, I have no complaints on the readers who do comment. As far as riling people up, I don’t think that’s my style. I prefer constructive engagement. I’m looking to build some useful dialog based on some real life observations. Plus I’d like to just build up some social contact with like minded folks. Some of the other sites are just too bitter. I don’t want to just shake my fist and talk about the revolution. I want to build a revolution that isn’t just angry talk. What I might do is run a contest.
You want a comment? I got a comment for ya. . . .
I would be very interested in: “Practical things we can do day to day to improve our lives while living under the thumb of Big Brother”.
Start the ball rolling.
I’ll probably join in. Useful information is best shared.
Good. Feedback, even criticism is welcome if it’s based on experience.
