Help Wanted

This week’s editorial has been posted at the other blog. The subject this week is the Marquis Of Queensbury rules and the Geneva Convention. Go take a look-see and give me your opinion. At the very least, you’ll get some food for thought.

On a related subject, I am looking for people who like to think and write. I want to add three or four people to the crew of the Argoknot. My plan is simple: each person will post an editorial (2,000-3,000 word) on a specific day of the week. You can choose whatever subject you please as long as it remains within the context of conservative, rational discussion of current events. You can even choose the day of the week you wish to post each week as long as you promise to post each week. I have chosen Mondays for myself but all other days are open for any aspiring writers out there. The blog tool is WordPress and is quite easy to use.

Send me an e-mail at (allan “at” argoknot.com) if you’re interested. The crew members chosen will have full posting and editing privileges. I will take care of all site maintenance and promotions. Initial pay is “zero” which is 100% of what I get paid but if the blog takes off like this site did, perhaps later on we can split advertising revenue. I make no promises except to give you full freedom to write about what interests you.

Oh yeah! I almost forgot ... you will have to choose a Greek philosopher or historical figure as your “nom de plume”. I already have dibs on Plato but the rest are open. The Argoknot is an equal opportunity employer so the offer is open to men, women, foreigners, blacks, whites, Asians, Jews, Muslims ... even critters from Mars are welcome to apply.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
