news

In which we consider an improvement to cable news' constant repetition.

We all see them - they are called - HEADLINES.

I am new to the BlueNC site so for starters I will point to my blogs of recent times. I have several, all on blogspot.com. Some of the links are:

Politics in North Carolina
Trends in North Carolina
Keepin it green
News, views and more
Adventures in photos
-and-
Carolina's compass

These are jumping off points. After browsing through any of these check the links on the side under "Kindred blogs" or "My blogs" for more categories. I generally try to group similar topics under a given blog, thus the logic of having several.

In one of my meanderings over the Internet one day I ran across a really interesting site: Townhall.com. Yes it can be said to be a “conservatives” site if you want to label it, I guess. I am neither a liberal nor a conservative since I hold strong opinions favored by both camps. I am however, I believe, an intelligent person who refuses to gulp whole anything without running it thru the test of the knowledge I have managed to obtain, and retain, thru the years. Then I may accept or reject the whole, or accept and shape to my own opinions parts of what I read, hear or see. That is what Townhall.com has come to mean to me; a place where I get others opinions based on their knowledge and in this way add to my own knowledge base. With this attitude towards all peoples opinions KNEE JERK liberals or conservatives annoy me. And, greatly sadden me.
