Great Expectations
One of the goals of this blog is to facilitate and cultivate intelligent dialog. The state of political and social debate in the United States is an ‘us vs. them’ screaming match. Everybody is talking, but no one is hearing. The best (or worst) example of this inane communication can be found on countless blog forums throughout the web.
It is my great hope that BackingIn.com will foster intelligent and insightful commentary and conversation among its readers. To that end, I reserve the right to remove any post that contain the following:
- Hate speech
- Obscenity
What’s All This Then?
What is BackingIn.com? BackingIn.com is a creative alternative to expensive psychological therapy. This blog will consist of anything that is on my mind at a particular time. It is my hope that by getting my thoughts out of my head and down on paper, so to speak, that I will be rid of the daily minutia about which I obsess. At the very least, I will have a forum in which to express myself, where I can espouse my beliefs, my likes and dislikes, and grow as a writer.
Some posts may be as trivial as, “Why is Florida ‘The Sunshine State’ when it gets almost 50 inches of rain per year?”, to comments on politics, pop culture, technology, and very serious topics that are near and dear to my heart. Mostly, I think, BackingIn.com will consist of the things that eat at me, make my stomach churn, and just tick me off. It must be said, though, that this blog is a living, breathing, evolving site that will become whatever it wants to become.
