This is my little haven from those bloggers who insist on Cutting and Pasting, Copying and Pasting, Plagiarizing and constantly regurgitating emails, time after time, after time. In this blog, unlike those of some C&P bloggers who profess to have deep religious convictions, I abide by the eighth commandment. You all know how that goes, don't you? - "Thou Shalt not Steal" I don't promise you erudition or Pulitzer prize winning literature, but I do promise you originality and sometimes, even controversy. I may not post blogs daily, or weekly, but when I do post, I will be posting original material, that is the one thing you can be sure of.
