Happy 4th of July:  "To enslave ideas, ideals, idealism, to torture imagination, dissent, argument, to take the life of belief, hope, free will, begins with the, uh, imprisonment of free speech, the free pursuit of the truth, and the freedom to report the truth."  "When freedom is intellectualized it can be mitigated by intellectual method; made less, and less, and less, and less... when understood by the heart, freedom is inviolable."
I've authored this blog for five years: I'm going to let it rest for awhile... All material is original unless otherwise noted. (edited 11/4/19) My short story the Horse and the Cowboy was published by Greg McCartney in the June edition of The Honest Ulsterman, in Northern Ireland. The photo is by Caitlin O'Kendley, my daughter. I appreciated the work Greg... Any further posts will be less about a creative blog site and more about keeping the blog semi-active until it fades away. Please give to Doctors Without Borders: 333 Seventh Avenue, 2nd Floor/ New York, New York 10001/ 212-679-5785

There is so much pain in the quote I've read above. I feel sad towards people who had been deprived by their freedom of speech and their rights to express their feelings. By just imagining the thought hurts me, what more if they will do it towards me? No one deserves to be deprived by their desire to express themselves in the way they want. People who do this thing should always watch their words. Leave a Reply. |

I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits were vetted, investigated, though the summer of 2018. The vetting lapsed in some cases afterwards or until the last blog on May, 31, 2021.
