The following excerpt from a post in the 'Daily Kos' (in italics), provides a brief look at the interesting comments I found on this blog. The blog itself, I found following the link http://technorati.com. I had not been able to put my finger on the reason that I have not previously viewed many blogs, and subscribed to none until I was searching for an appropriate blog to include here; that reason would be that many seem to be knee-jerk reactions to the world we live in. I prefer the more reasoned approach, and that has led me to the ones selected for inclusion in this blog.
