It Starts at the Beginning...

Well-ho. Another guy out of the three-and-a-quarter billion guys currently on this planet has decided to start up another little rambling, speech stump on his corner of the Internet. Whoop-dee-doo, eh?
Eventually, I want to post everything I think is important about religion, science, philosophy, government, economics, and culture on this site, kind of a place to make my little voice heard in the endless sea of similarly screaming voices in the big football stadium we call the post-modern world, but for now, this little introduction post will have to do.
Anyway, a person is a person, even though he may type like a first-grader just learning to work a keyboard. Or a texter who abbreviates everything to the point of creating a new, hyper-condensed language as one old phone commercial so humorously showed us. IDK, ppl r werd lik dat.
Behind the billions of post on the millions of websites across the thousands of computers constantly talking to each other every day is a person. Another Spirit Son/Daughter of God, who's going through this life on the faith that he existed before his birth (or the faith that he did not).
Some are educated and informed, some are not. Some are funny, some are not. Some are bigoted, or silly, or outright dumb at times. But they're all still people, though they never take the time to think about it anymore. At any rate, they're people, and I have found that the most interesting the Internet has brought to me is an insight into the minds of others.
There is a surprising amount of honesty the Internet has given the world, as a person can say what he truly thinks without fear that some mob with torches and pitchforks will come beating down his door and setting his house ablaze like the monster they think he is. That has the potential for some real cruelty and hate to come out, but also some super-clarity as to what another is really thinking. The internet is probably the closest we'll get to telepathy until we finally invent a radio-equipped micro-chip computer able to talk to our brains directly via surgical implant.

Until then, we'll have to make due with the flame wars raging across the cyberwebs. As epically stupid as they can be any time they rear up like a drunken-rage induced dragon.

Well, I think this is enough for now, but keep an eye out for more later when I have the time and willpower to overcome my procrastination and actually do something again.

Look out Internet, here comes the Grey_Wolf!
