Well, how about that! Today I have ed 12,000 fans. Thank you all! I have become your fan as well! I want to ask you all something serious. Do you always look for the good you can do in the world? This site can be a lot of fun, but let’s always that even here, we can say and do positive things that will help others, we can refuse to harm or abuse others, and we can choose to take a stand against government controls, and having our rights to free speech usurped through censorship, etc. lately I have found people on IF who are promoting extreme abuse, asphyxiation, and human trafficking. There are international laws to protect human rights. that your rights end where another person begins. I am chagrined that sites can be shut down because someone “appears” to be of a certain age, but nothing is done where a person has been hung, or human trafficked. Blessings to all the good people here, but please our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!

I like to celebrate progress by acknowledging and appreciating growth in fan base. I note that I have reached 11,500 fans. I also note that.I have over 665,000 profile views, I just celebrated another birthday, it is a new year, and I have been a member of this site for over 10 years. All are signals of the age of time, and hopefully some growth and learning take place. I am learning to appreciate all the people we meet and interact with. That includes each of you. Thank you for your lives, and for choosing to interact with me. And please do good in the world, not harm to yourself or others. I am learning to speak out when I see problems and injustice, so I am speaking out against censorship and placing too much power in the hands of a few. Finally, I am learning that all lives have worth and we should never degrade ourselves or others as this limits our belief in the good we can accomplish. I wish you all a bright future and thank you for letting me have a place in your lives.
