Welcoming the World

It is a big world, as the cliche goes. And, it's a small world, as they also say.  That makes it a seemingly confusing world, I say.

However, I am pleased and grateful for the many people coming to this blog from countries all over the northern hemisphere.  As of yet, there aren't so many from the southern hemisphere, but I trust that will change.

For those who are coming, I am grateful for your interest in both the United States and the world.  Life in the U.S. remains good for many, yet quite challenging for a large number of people as well.  To say the recession has ended or is ending is questionable at best.

Soon, I will have a post on the state of the world-wide web.  But for today I mention briefly a criticism George F. Will recently made on C-Span.  He said that the coming of the Internet has created  a situation in which people go from a standing start to full-blown anger in nothing flat (that is, very quickly).  He stated that many groups feel they can only get attention if they are at full decibel all the time, and that many such groups are probably right to feel that way.

Without parsing Mr. Will's comments too heavily, I have decided that if there is any truth to his criticism I do not want to be guilty.  So instead of being steadily loud I hope to be steadily passionate -- about justice, about goodwill, about truth.  Perhaps Mr. Will and others would like to see themselves the same way.  I hope so.
