2018 was a weird fucking year, what does 2019 hold in store? The list is quite long but if you skip to # 43 – We will ask ourselves hard questions about what free speech means – you’ll see what set me off. LinkedIn (a service I am not particularly fond of) sent me an email today in which the subject line read “As an active contributor on LinkedIn, we want to hear what Big Ideas will define 2019” and while I normally send these types of things straight to the trash, I actually opened it up, out of curiosity. Pearl clutchers from all sides have occasionally sprung up like weeds to try to censor this or that, but the overwhelming majority of Americans would be quick to mow right over that weed in defense of free speech. That wasn’t a republican or conservative value, it wasn’t a democrat or liberal value, it was just an American value. For all my life this was the golden value that connected everyone even if they vehemently disagreed on the things the other was freely speaking – that noble gesture that I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to death your right to say. I never thought that I would need to defend freedom of speech. Insanity has reached a boiling point in my book, a book that may eventually get censored, or banned, or burned! The boiling point that has been reached is that even in the westernized, modernized, freedom loving United Stated of America, free speech is officially playing defense. So why now am I jumping back into the fray after such a long sabbatical? Hardly the outcome I wanted, but the outcome I deserve. Here I am less than a week from Christmas and aside from this, I have written just a single post this year, a review of Black Panther. This was due largely in part to the insanity I was witnessing in the world around me in real life and online with regards to politics, society, and culture. I thought that 2018 was going to be the year that I ramped up my blog, and early on I intended to start a video blog or YouTube channel. It has been over 10 months since like my last post.
