Dedicated to my future readers

Write not what you want to say, but rather what your readers need to hear -- a good adage for an aspiring author.  My audience has yet to assemble.  What I write now will determine who visits later.  I am hoping for curious readers; for to be interested is usually to be interesting.   People in all their array of passions and cultures and languages and beliefs are endlessly fascinating.   As Alexander Pope said in 1733, "the proper study of mankind is man"...

Time's person of the year for 2006 was not a global celebrity or a  a great humanitarian or a powerful politician - no, it was all of us, all of humanity.  Because we are apparently expected to use new internet technologies like blogs and podcasts and YouTube to change the world.  As Time put it, "...millions of minds that would otherwise have drowned in obscurity get backhauled into the global intellectual economy." 

With all the foolishness that we have seen from those that have traditionally owned the "global intellectual economy" - our politicians and our religious leaders and our professors and our mainstream media - its refreshing to think that we might have some new investors.   Time to expand the economy.

Here's to a revolutionary 2007 for all of us.
