I\u2019ve been neglecting the photography side of things and the reviews this week and I\u2019ll be getting back to that soon.\u00a0 I took some photos in November that I want to post and I have a sci-fi movie review I want to do.\u00a0 I might do a Trump vs \u2026 post on his trip to Asia.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t thought it all out but there must be comedy gold somewhere in a trip that includes Trump calling the president of a country short and fat.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m watching the slow returns on the Who Are We poll.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t surprised to see a libertarian and an Ayn Randian among us but it was very interesting to see a Bernie Bro among my readers.\u00a0 Look at that. \u00a0I\u2019m a unifier and I didn\u2019t even know it!\u00a0 Well anyway welcome to you all, even you hard core Alinskyites and Stalinists.\u00a0 If ping-pong could bring Mao and Nixon together then maybe photography and science fiction can heal the world\u2019s divisions.\u00a0 Or at least get more comments on my website.<\/p>\n

By putting up polls and installing a forum section I\u2019d like to encourage my readers to engage with each other and me.\u00a0 I basically started this thing for two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To have a place to say what I wanted about politics and social stuff without having SJWs tell me I was not allowed to talk.<\/li>\n
  2. To find other people who wanted to talk about this stuff in a place where we were free to speak our minds. If I was discussing cameras and the conversation veered into laws on photographing public building I was sick and tired of reading a thousand-word rant about how the government was repressing Arabs and then when I objected having my comment deleted due to left-wing censorship.\u00a0 Or if a Muslim guy shoots up a gay bar have to endure fifty diatribes against gun ownership but not be allowed to disagree.\u00a0 I\u2019ll bet there are plenty of photographers, sf&f fans and all kinds other folks who have had similar experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, be my guest.\u00a0 Participate in the poll, leave comments and feedback on the posts and leave your own content on the forums, whether it be a political topic that you have an opinion on or some photo that you want to share or some movie or book idea that you want to share.<\/p>\n

    Since my readers don’t always stop by every day I figured I’d paste this poll on each post for a while to see what folks call themselves.\u00a0 This is the post the poll came from\u00a0\u00a0Who Are We?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

    … And that got me thinking. Who are the people who read my blog?\u00a0 I thought it might be fun to see what the cross-section looked like.\u00a0 If you feel like saying what you believe in, feel free to leave a comment and\/or pick a label from the poll below.\u00a0 I think it might be interesting.<\/strong><\/p>\n
