Ever been misunderstood? Sure you have. There are moments when the words we speak are 1) taken out of context, 2) misunderstood, 3) ignored or 4) simply reinterpreted. Often the person being misunderstood, however, doesn't know why he or she has been misunderstood. So, I'm going to do an experiment for a few weeks --- mostly over the summer months. I'm going to "have my say" and then ask what you think I'm saying or what you think I mean. You see, I'm one of those people who often says, "I say what mean and mean what I say." But, what does that really mean? Well, we're about to find out. The topics will range from thoughts on race, religion, sex and any issue I feel is relevant at the time. Perhaps it will focus on a current event or issue, but mostly, it will be my thoughts without censure or restraint.
I make no promises about my responses after I've posted an essay. I may or may not defend myself to your posts. Still, I'm asking that you let me know even without a guarantee that you'll be responded to. I am interested in your responses, but it doesn't guarantee that I will be interested in responding. In having my say, I get to work on my thoughts and opinions while offering a window of opportunity for you to have yours as well.
Let the (perhaps one-sided) conversation begin.
