You, as the operator of the blog get to pick the subjects and the reader can read, agree, disagree, comment, discuss or just walk away.

Comments posted over time lose some focus. <br /><br />Keep on keepin' on young dude. Don't waste time comparing yourself to others. <br /><br />BTW, I do know you well enough to repeat my complaint about your color scheme. [grin]ponsdorfhttp://thisainthell.us/blog/noreply@blogger.com
