Again I say that if I had my way, I would talk and talk and talk and talk and never shut up!! But since I can't talk and talk and talk and talk and never shut up, I might as well blog and blog and blog and blog and never shut up! I can't scream loud enough about how frustrating it is to have these megatons of ideas in my head and being forced to keep them there in order to avoid being punished for expressing such "abberant" ideas. So until or if I'm allowed to speak freely in public (I know I can speak frely in public in general terms. It's just that I feel it's more complicated than that.), I'll just have to be satificed with blogging freely in public. But as we all know, bloggers aren't exempt from ridicule. Even so, I still think blogging is the next best thing to talking and never shutting up. Plus, it's all way more complicated than I've indicated here so far. (Didn't I just say that?) For example, a friend of mine once told me that the right to free speech doesn't equal the right to be heard. Then there was a political leader I heard on C-SPAN who gave an example of a bus rider who was kicked off a bus for giving away religious literature as to how the right to free speech should also equal the right to be heard. What a contradiction in this contradictory world!
In short, I'll go into further details on those issues, other issues, my Gen X suicide life and anything else I can think of in future Gen X blog entries. Thus, like with nearly everything else in this so-called "reality, there are no easy answers. It's hard to find easy answers when there's a population of 6 billion!
