A Milestone Here

Sometime tonight or tomorrow this little blog will have 20,000 hits. In the scheme of things that may not sound like much; but, it is interesting to me. To all who have come here, I hope you found something of value. When I started this blog four years ago, I never intended to see it last this long.

This whole experience has been interesting. I think back about some of the people who have left comments. A couple of days ago somebody that knew Pastor Daniels left me a very nice comment. I wasn't quite sure how to respond. For me, all posts (except for the really bad ones) are of equal value if they pass on information that people didn't know or ones that maybe get people to consider things in a new way. I never thought that my post on the late Pastor would get viewed by anyone that knew her and I don't know how I feel about it. I am glad that I can be of any service; it is more that I never expected people who didn't know me to read this blog. I am amazed at how many people in foreign countries have read this. I never expected that either.

The posts that were the most important to me were the one's about the Pastor and about pensions. The one's that I enjoy writing the most are the one's where I am attempting to explain something that maybe most people don't understand and I like the one's on quantum physics and the one's showing how technology will be effecting us in the future. There is another benefit to me in writing this blog, it gives me a reason to survey the news on a daily basis looking for things that others might have missed. I always get a kick out of posting stories before they hit Drudge, Alex Jones or others.

While I like reading alternative news sources, I think you have to be careful with them. While the mainstream media pretty much all runs the same stories (nationwide and worldwide), the alternative media tends to over-react to everything. As we watch Greece fall off the edge of the cliff and bank runs in Spain, I think we can all see that we continue to be lied to by our leaders and mass media. The same people who told us that the housing market wasn't going to bust, the same who said that the housing market would have a soft landing and the same one's that told us it would not effect the stock market. They lied and now they want to sell out our retirements and monitor our thoughts. I find it disgraceful that the same world leaders that want cameras in every city, don't televise their meetings at the CFR or Bilderberg meetings.

Just some thoughts.
