Beyond Opinion Takes Off!
Today I am starting a new blog. Call it Son of Blogtrek; call it My Opinion. Everything's "my" these days anyway. In any case, this is now the blog that I am going to be using to express my opinions on current events. It is here that I will express my opinions on "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, on the Bush-Kerry Presidential campaign, on movies such as Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, and just about anything else.
For example, today I will say that I have run into three articles on the upcoming oil situation. They rated 5, 6, and 9 on my 0 to 10 scale. The one that rated 5 says that we may eventually have to get our produce locally and have $100 a barrel oil. The 6 warns of things to come and makes recommendations, and the 9 bravely posits that we will have enough oil until about 2100 or so, due to huge deposits of shale oil (but look at the reality check - only 30% of it is economic, and only 80 billion barrels can be obtained now). I will comment more on this later, and I may even establish a new blog on the oil situation, because I believe that it is going to cause a major international crisis in the years ahead.
But for now, I have this new blog. I will use Blogtrek for firefly numbers, thrashers in my back yard, the Transit of Venus, the joys of SUUSI, and other matters which do not concern the heavy material of a CNN news hour. Those matters will go into this new blog, Beyond Opinion.
For it is all my opinion. And it is never the final word or opinion, for there can be no such thing as a Final Opinion, for one can always go Beyond Opinion...
