Opinions & Commentary Home

I am not normally a very vocal person. I quietly watch everything that's going on, form my own opinions, have friendly arguments with family and friends, in the meantime getting others' opinions, on some points, and quietly seethe when I see what I consider to be "injustices" performed.

I have put pen to paper a number of times, writing to my favorite morning radio show about some things, writing "letters to the editor" that would never be printed because they are too long, and writing just to get things straight in my own head.

None of these have been published... Until now.

Since I have my own website, I have decided to start publish articles on things that bother me ...  my opinions ... and to comment on other things. I don't see any of these changing things... This is just an outlet for my own frustrations. I doubt anyone in a position to do anything about them will read them, but they may be able to make some people think about or look at things differently.

Remember that these are MY PERSONAL OPINIONS. If you want to know more about me (my background, my values, etc.), see my Owner Section Home page and my "On Being a Hoosier" piece, below.

If you disagree with me, that is your right, "... no matter how stupid or wrong you are." (or I am). I doubt if you will change my opinions, but if you want, you can try.

If you don't like my opinion, try to change it... Don't threaten me, my home or my loved ones. In other words "PROVE ME WRONG".

NOTE: Some of these opinions have been prompted by emails that are being forwarded around. If they are Rumors or Urban Legends, most of those emails will appear in the Scams, Shams & More Flim-Flams Section, Rumors/Urban Legend Division (with some comments there), and most of my commentary here. If this is the case, the piece, below, will include links to the specific Rumor/Urban Legend page. Otherwise the "whole shootin' match" will appear here. This may make some of these items quite long. I just wanted you to be aware of that.

Remember: Each item will include an email link to which you can give me feedback, if you wish.
