Was the first comment I’ve had so far (before even starting this blog). True, I am not a US citizen.
However, the fun part of globalization is that US issues rapidly become my issues, like India’s or China’s or Europe’s issues become the United States issues. On top of that, the fun part of Social Media is that anybody on this globe can have a pretty direct view into local US politics.
Hence, I consider #OWS my bees wax, I wish I could be there in Melbourne to protest the way police have engaged the Occupy movement there, and I do reserve the right to put situations worldwide under a microscope, and have thoughts and questions.
Hopefully even answers.
Well, we’ll see. My blog will be a bit twitter like, stuff will pop up and I will write something about it. If I have anything to say. I may even just give a link with no comment if no comment is warranted (believe me I have seen some examples in the past days!).
I may even write some well thought out articles about stuff that popped up. If you like them, let me know. If you don’t, well… they’re out there and I will only retract them if somebody can show me that I was factually wrong. In which case I will retract.
Will I change the world? I doubt it. The world is usually changed by ordinary people who take an extraordinary view and implement it. A mother standing up to Melbourne police might be such a person, or a ‘hippy freak’ (not my words) in Liberty Park. You never know, but that’s the beauty of people. They will surprise you! I just need to get things off my chest.
Am I biased? Hell yeah, or I wouldn’t be writing. But I will listen, and I will try to understand all sides. I know this may be seen as weak but well, that’s me. Be yourself, as the world is full of other people.
