So what do you write as your first post in a new blog? I've decided on the subject of "expectations," specifically mine for "A Bright Dawn Ahead."
First, a word about the title. It is a phrase used in 1994 by Ronald Reagan when he announced his Alzheimer's affliction to the world:
"I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead."
"A Bright Dawn Ahead" captures my outlook for our future. However, there is work to be done. In particular, our country is careening in a direction which could prove disastrous. President Obama is charismatic and a fabulous orator. But we elected a Rock Star when we should have chosen a leader. Where is Ronald Reagan when we really need him? Where is John Galt?
In these pages, I want to discuss:
What the teacher's union has done to public schools
- How the bailouts and deficit spending could crush our future
- What liberalism has done to just about everything
- How the ideas in "Atlas Shrugged" can save the country
- How the word of Jesus Christ can save our souls
- How we can assist the Methodist Church in Cuba
- Using Mind Mapping to foster creative solutions
- Using social media for social good
- Thoughts from great thinkers
- Music (creating it, listening to it, discovering new talent)
- Art
- Enjoying wine
- Bonsai
- Learning languages
- Family
- Sending Senator Bill Nelson packing (his vote on health care was the last straw)
- Tea parties and the Conservative movement
- Formula One racing
How's that for a hodge podge of topics? Unlike my other (business oriented) blogs, I want this one to foster conversations and ideas on a wide variety of interesting topics. That is my only expectation. I invite you to sign up and participate regularly. Opposing views are encouraged, but please keep it civil.
Let's chat!
George
