For those who followed my responses to the Register-Mail Roundtable over the past few years, I just wanted you to know why I’m no longer featured there. I was informed recently that I was being rotated off the Roundtable to make space for new voices. My last response was on Oct 2nd, with my opinion of Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to SCOTUS, which I’m guessing really pushed someone’s buttons. I have since noticed that Gruner, Urban & Bulkeley still remain, though I believe all three were on the Roundtable when I first came to it. I did more than simply opine there; I researched topics & tried to give real-world facts & background information in my mere 150-word Roundtable limit. I almost never missed a week’s ‘assignment’, no matter what was happening in my life. I’ve also written a near-weekly, 400-word Letter to the Editors, as some of my fellow ‘passionate, concerned, constant’ contributors do, during this contentious, crucial time in our nation’s history. I hope to continue to be published in that forum & share my political commentary.
Many have dropped their subscriptions in recent years, as we’ve seen big price increases for our local paper; and that is one reason why I publish my blog writings: political, astrological, sociological — to Facebook, to share with a larger audience …. to bring food for thought. I’ve had people I didn’t know, around town, recognize me, stop me and tell me they enjoyed reading my Register-Mail responses; and I thank you all for your kind words, interest and respect for diverse ideas, whether or not you agreed with me. Most of us are very concerned about our upcoming election; the elections are about our future, and our progenies’ future. It behooves us to do our research on the candidates on our ballots, weigh the facts carefully, and VOTE as if all we care deeply about matters. If 2020 has shown us anything, we can see that what we took for granted in life, our health, our jobs, our schooling, our homes, our loved loves, attending weddings, funerals, birthday parties, spending time with our friends …. all of it, can quickly be cast asunder. Keep in mind …. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES! Get out EARLY & VOTE! VOTE for sane, compassionate leadership, for draining the corrupt SWAMP, for respecting Science, for instituting necessary reforms, for restoring relationships with our allies, and respect in the world, for BUILDING BACK BETTER! And EVERYONE …. try to stay safe & keep others safe until we can hopefully, all, see better times.
