"the only local community blog that "openly" discusses activities that

having trouble keeping the stories squared away?</FONT></DIV>

size=2>> Greetings Visionaires -<BR>> <BR>> Over the past day or so I
have been attacked online for having accessed a<BR>> local community blog (or
so it purports to being) which reports/discusses<BR>> community activities
(both political and social), "Right Mind", from both at<BR>> work and at
home. I have been ridiculed and severely criticized for having<BR>>
done so. Since I can no longer access this source of community
information<BR>> from work, I will strive to do so from home.<BR>>
<BR>> You see. The question shouldn't be, "Am I doing this," but "Why
am I doing<BR>> this."<BR>> <BR>> By my calculations "Right Mind" is
the only local community blog that<BR>> "openly" discusses activities that
impact upon the community in which I<BR>> live. By browsing through the
variety of topics at "Right Mind", if I find<BR>> a topic that I believe to
be controversial, critical, or merely of community<BR>> interest, I will
copy, paste and discuss it here on Vision 2020. If those<BR>> same
people that criticized my accessing "Right Mind" feel threatened by my<BR>>
willingness to openly discuss such topics, they have not yet begun to<BR>>
understand Tom Hansen. Rest Assured that in the long run they
will.<BR>> <BR>> Moscow's friend and co-conspirator in common

not us, who?<BR>> If not now, when?"<BR>> <BR>> - Unknown<BR>>
