Shibumi,

As I have watched over the last couple of posts, your thoughts and feelings on my writings have been most unkind. You used the term “far over my head” to describe the people here in the forum. I thought freedom stood for all people being equal?

In your private messaging you have also used other colorful metaphors to describe me and my timing as well. Please restrain yourself.

I would debate you on your comments, however you seem to be already set in your mindset toward my writing and the subject matter on which I write, and a debate would only suffice to show how low people can sink.

FreePublic is a place were people can share ideas and thoughts on freedom, not to fight.

I do my best to look a the comments that are posted to the forum. I typically don’t respond those that are just plain mean or “troll like” in nature, probably due to the fact they are attempting to draw me out in to an open fight or debate in order to tarnish my writing.

I fully recognize that a majority of the people who read this forum are very intelligent freedom loving Patriots and I very much respect what Free Public stands for.

I would ask this, If you don’t like my writing. Don’t read it.

You have your views, and I have mine. I write out of passion and concern.

I write to continue to wake the World up, and I don’t just post my writing exclusively on FreePublic, I post in many different other places and it has been received quite well.

If your asking why I post only excerpts, it is due to the formatting that Blogger provides me. If I could carry over the formatting from my site to here. I would do it in a heart beat.

The content of your site can be posted here quite easily by grabbing the source.

I don’t think you really get how serious things are becoming.

I want you to take a moment and look at this photo.

Do you know where this is?

This is India over the past two days.

According to Associated Press, Reuters and other sources today there is 600 million people without power.

600 Million People! That is equal to the entire population of North America and Central America!

Can you imagine if that was here?

What would happen? What has happened before? Remember the east coast black out in 2003? It affected millions of people! No transportation, no power to the grocery stores, no power to the banks.

11 people died, and that was only in a 24 hour period! What if it would have been longer?

How would you react if the power went out?

Better yet… what if the power never came back on? As I have posted before NBC is getting ready to launch a show that I am absolutely stoked for. The premise of the power going out completely and never coming back on is really going to freak people out.

I only c/p'ed down to the first embedded video, as FR does not allow that application to be posted.

Contrary to what the anti-blog freeperbeaters convey, I don't see anything wrong with posting a fairly long excerpt (with live links just like in the article, using HTML) with a link back to the site.

Your blog is quite clean, no invasive ads or popups and nothing my anti-virus has to warn me about.

Good article, thanks for posting!

And if you would like for me to post the rest of your article (sans embedded videos), just ask as I would be glad to do it for you.

Truth hurts?

" You used the term “far over my head” to describe the people here in the forum. I thought freedom stood for all people being equal?"

First lesson - Equality of opportunity does not equal equality of outcome.

"In your private messaging you have also used other colorful metaphors to describe me and my timing as well. Please restrain yourself."

Nope. Won't try. C'aint hep it!

"I would debate you on your comments, however you seem to be already set in your mindset toward my writing and the subject matter on which I write, and a debate would only suffice to show how low people can sink."

No, please try. We all want to find out just how low you can sink.

"FreePublic is a place were people can share ideas and thoughts on freedom, not to fight."

Ben here a week and you're trying to set the rules?

"I do my best to look a the comments that are posted to the forum. I typically don’t respond those that are just plain mean or “troll like” in nature, probably due to the fact they are attempting to draw me out in to an open fight or debate in order to tarnish my writing."

No - You don't respond to any at all, up till now. And trust me, nothing we could say could tarnish your writing any further than it is.

"I fully recognize that a majority of the people who read this forum are very intelligent freedom loving Patriots and I very much respect what Free Public stands for. I would ask this, If you don’t like my writing. Don’t read it. You have your views, and I have mine. I write out of passion and concern."

I have no doubt that you regard yourself as passionate and concerned, but a modicum of skill would be welcome as well.

"I write to continue to wake the World up,..."

Darn World is sure a sleepy head, isn't it?

"...and I don’t just post my writing exclusively on FreePublic, I post in many different other places and it has been received quite well."

Fail. Sorry. We've got higher standards than DU and the YaHoo! Answers Forum.

This Hyperlink will lead you to a thread that will answer all your questions about formatting your "work" for FreeRepublic.com. And for Pete's sake - learn the difference between "your" and "you're."

I don’t just post my writing exclusively on FreePublic, I post in many different other places and it has been received quite well.

Maybe you should focus on those.
