Does having 200 blogs saying the same thing increase the value of that knowledge?  Are we really getting any benefit from it?

I really don’t know.  I question the value of the different websites that I have, this one included.  Other than personal outlet or creative expression, am I really doing anything positive by writing on this blog?  Am I really using my time wisely by writing this? I’m not sure, I guess I felt that it was worth thinking about.

Anyone that knows me well, knows that I have a deep love for this wonderful country.  There are many things that make me extremely proud to be from this county, and there some things that disappoint me about our country.  No one is perfect and no nation is perfect.

I can not express the thanks that I have for the people that have given their lives or put their lives on the line to give and defend the freedoms that I enjoy. Most Americans take for granted the multitude of freedoms that they have.  And most people do not understand the sacrifice that was made by thousands of men and women to grant those freedoms to us.

I am proud to live here and claim that I am an American, regardless of what anyone else thinks or believes.  And that is one of the greatest American Freedoms!

I am attempting to add some direction to the blog and not have it be just completely random crap.  That is why I decided to just use an out of the box theme and not try to focus on make it “look good” but actually focus on writing some content that’s semi-worthwhile.  But I make no promises.
