As I review my work over the years.

I have been asked by a number of people just why few to none even know of my writing. The answer simple and it has nothing to do with content, style or anything else and that is fact that can be established. If one does not publish on a site that provides significant exposure the chance of becoming known is slim to not at all. It is up to those who control and control is a key word as to what gets to the public and what doesn't. It is also true of who visits the site. It is evident what I write angers some, stirs and gets to the heart and truth of it all. Now believe that or not but all one has to do is go back and read some of my earlier works. Of course those who edit on these sites know quite well the truth.

Do I need an example? A day or so ago Wolf Blitzer of CNN interviewed former President Clinton. He asked what can be done to stimulate the economy? Well to paraphrase and as I understood he proposed that banks can take the billions of dollars they currently are holding to adjust the amount of a persons mortgage to "current market value."  His opinion was that would have an immediate impact on the economy and homeowners facing potential or undergoing mortgage problems. In my opinion a great idea. However, and hello, that is exactly what I stated years ago on this site.

Excerpt just taken from "Real Clear Politics" article concerning the Wolf Blitzer transcripts just posted on the Web.

"BLITZER: Because if they use that money to stimulate the economy and get jobs going in the private sector, that would be wonderful.

CLINTON: Absolutely.

Well, see, this money they're giving...

BLITZER: But you can't blame them for being nervous.

CLINTON: No, but the money that they're giving -- let me just say what Bank of America is going to have happen. Bank of America will lose profits for lose months, yes.

But by giving this money to the bondholders and the other people holding these mortgages that they sold, they also will acquire the ability to write down or have someone for them write down all the mortgages to their present value of the homes for everybody that can afford to make that kind of mortgage payment.

And then for everybody else, it will be clear that foreclosure is the only option. We could clean up the bank books, keep a lot of people in their homes that are still worried about losing them. And if everybody would follow this lead, this could lift an enormous economic and psychological burden off the country"

[Did anyone note their error?]

I could also speak of the Civilian Conservation Core. A tool used by FDR to put people to work, make money, provide skills and move the economy along with a host of other issues. Yet, I wonder why I should bother? As I have already stated, who really cares? So, those of you who read me regularly can attest to what I am saying as fact, truth, reality. You have read my work and know I have stated it. I state it here and while posting differnt articles on the conservative site this blog maintains. Never mind my inadaquate skills or computer glitches, was the concept acceptable? Evidently they are now?

Another blatant fact is much of what I write or wrote rarely gets to be even seen by large numbers of people. Call it what you like but don't miss what I am saying. Perhaps the article trashed or not given placement for any number of reasons personal or other. Once again back to those who read me.

Now I do recognize truth is hard and people really get upset when it hits home. Of course evidently being "politically correct" is more important then truth. This society prefers not to ruffle feathers? It is evidently more important to skirt then confront even when truth.  Yes, like individual choices, when confronted with paying the price or honing up humans don't like it, even when we have been warned or it is fact. Yes and I do respect this site must maintain nuetrality to remain acceptable and viable.

So, while you hear all this and if you happen to investigate, read or know of my work, I venture to say you might say to yourself and perhaps no one else, hey, this guy was right on target all along. Does it matter, no, only to me and those who know me and of course I would not be telling the truth that as a human I get satisfaction. I venture to say we all do. Yet, I have never written, as most know, for great monetary gain. No, just to speak to people about reality, truth, fact as an average Joe, an AMERICAN, a family guy. I feel this is the greatest issue this nation has to face and overcome.

Call it what you want, label me, ignore me, hide or whatever as I always say, truth has a funny way of getting out and striking home. As you listen to these leaders try to hear what "they are really saying" and / or "what they actually stated, and mean" and you will know what I am saying.

This article was poorly written. I found many examples of misspellings, sentence fragments and poor syntax. If this is a writers' website, shouldn't articles be correct in their grammar and composition?

Dennis, I could respond but then again it would take to long and those who have read me for years know that I myself have written to this. Thank you.
