Here goes......

Well, here we are. After hearing from many of you after the election, your need for continued participation was made clear and a sense that we needed to go a little further than just sharing emails came bursting through.

This is a web log, or in the parlance of the net literati, a blog. You will be able to post your own thoughts, links to other sites, even complete articles. You are free to post anything as long as you do it in a constructive fashion and refrain from abusive behavior. (Unless someone else volunteers, I will determine if you are being abusive.)

Politics is the main course here but some will say that politics is part of everything we do, so post away. Just one thing, please do more than just complain. That is, make an effort to suggest concrete actions that you believe can create real change. This can be anything from meditation to demonstration; use your wisdom and experience to educate us all.

Remember the vows you made the day after the last election and put your anger/fear/concern/disappointment to positive use. Invite your friends to participate and to contribute.

Blog on!
