The world as i see it...

I have, i must admit, been resisting the temptation to create a blog for a very long time now. Some of us are natural loudmouths. This mouth of ours, on more than one occasion as a matter of fact, has gotten us in trouble before. One can be forgiven, therefore, for wanting to be cautious. After all, the older we grow, the greater the stakes become. In a way, therefore, this is a risk that am taking. A risk that i will offend others. A risk that my views, yes MY VIEWS, will cause discomfort for others and that others may actually be victimized for my expressing them. You probably think I am exaggerating my importance. But there is as we all know, something known as "guilt by association." We all have been labelled, rightly or wrongly, haven't we, for merely associating with others even if the association is purely accidental. Say consanguinity for instance. We don't choose our families or do we? This association is purely accidental, therefore. But this does not stop the world from labeling us on the basis of this association. All am saying is that there is a possibility that others who associate with me "accidentally" may suffer some disadvantage as a result of the views expressed here. That is why it took some time for me to do this...


But now i reckon i will do it after all....I promise to articulate my reasons later. 


This will be my viewpoint. The world as i see it. Many of you will disagree with me. Well that's alright. I disagree with people all the time. Some quietly, others loudly. It's not a crime to disagree provided we are not disagreeable about it. So keep those comments coming and those debates raging. I am mighty lucky if you ask me. I keep the company of men (should I have used the word people perhaps?) with strong opinions. Folks who have an opinion on everything from whether it's appropriate to have sex during daytime to whether  animals have rights at all. So I know i will not be short of company here. 


So let's roll...
