Hello, world.
I got up this morning, showered, shaved, let the dogs out, and drove 15 minutes to work.....
Heck, no one is really interested in what I do, are they? I have always had a thing against individual blogs, mainly because I don't think that what I have to say about my life really is all that interesting except to Esmeralda, my wife, and the twins.
However....this is a different type of blog. I set this up specifically to address the disapearance of the Holy Cross "blog" from the Newszap web site....and to provide a site that was a bit freerer of any restrictions.
I am not sure how this works, exactly. Most blogs I've been on involve the author making some pithy statement on his day, his observation on life, the universe, and everything, and hoping and praying that someone cares enough to actually look at it. I'm going to kick this off with a comment or two, and gauge the interest in it. Heck, I might throw in a philosophical musing or two, but I want to see what you, the hoped for reader, want. So, with that....

Thank you SO VERY MUCH for taking action against the attempted suppression of our First Amendment Rights! Too many of our other rights have been taken away during this past school year by the administration and higher-ups. More power to you!
I got a response from Newzap warning that one could be sued for criticising a figure who was not a public official. They said they had pulled it ,in part, to protect the commentors.
I followed up with an email asking if anyone had actually threatened legal action. I will let you know if I recieved a response.
Thanks for the update. That is hard to believe, wouldn't you say? First, it would be a First Amendment issue. Second, they would have to target the individuals who made the specific comments, or those who allowed unfair comments to be left on.
I don't see that as being an issue here. We'll keep things clean, we'll keep things upfront, and we'll stay away from personal attacks.
