Imagine My Surprise

I got an email from Christian asking for Recon members to post on this blog. Now, I haven’t been around for awhile. Learning of the Skipper’s death came as a surprise. Considering what has happened I can understand what Christian has gone through. So I sent him a reply saying that I would be happy to post at BMEWS.

So I come here, look around, then go to see about posting at Recon. I figured, it would take Christian a day or two to authorize my posting at BMEWS, if he did okay posting priveleges. Much to my surprise, on the posting page I saw two options as to where I could post. That is why you’re seeing this on BMEWS instead of Recon.

Consider this as an introduction of sorts. I belong to no political party, or to any religion. I’m a self-professed Discordian because it fits my sense of humor. I support those who are in the right, and oppose those who would oppress Humanity. I’m for honesty, honest dealings, and treating people with the basic respect all deserve unless and until they prove to me that such respect is unwarranted. You wish to engage me in respectful discourse, then let us converse. If not, then I can only consider you a disappointment.

Here is a short list of what I find to be true (if any word or phrase is unfamiliar to you, go ahead and do a : Gigablast on it): Our climate is changing, and we’re a contributory factor. We are a heavily modified cnidarian worm, we may even me a heavily modified slime mold. We are doing the right thing in Iraq. We are at war with Iran and Syria. You have the right to your own opinion, you do not have the right to your own facts. No government can long succeed that ignores the voice of its citizens. The quickest road to tyranny is by treating people as though they needed constant protecting from the hazards of the world. Cats are understandable, but you have to accept what they’re telling you.

There’s more, but that should keep you cogitating for awhile.

I don’t expect you to agree with me on everything. I do ask that you express your disagreement with courtesy and respect. Especially if you’re convinced I’m a hateful loon with a crush on Satan. As my mother once told me, “It’s easier to catch flies with honey instead of vinegar.” When I asked her why would I want to catch flies she replied, “Makes them easier to kill in great numbers.”

I’m off to have a quick look around the blogosphere, then to the beach to find some bottles and cans for extra cash. Might be another post today, on what I have no idea. One thing you can be sure of, it’ll be something on the Rights of Man and the value of respecting the essential dignity of Mankind.

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.
