Opinionated? Me?

As has been said before, I can be an opinionated bitch. Not that i claim to always be right, or to have all the answers - at least half the time I don't think I have any of them! But I am definitely an opinionated bitch, and an opinionated witch.

Such is one of the privileges of living in an allegedly civilized society, the right to freedom of speech - alongside a few others. And what's the point in having a right to free speech of you don't use it? So, that's what I'm going to do. Whether anyone reads it is a totally different matter but that's ok. It's about the speaking not about how far it's heard. It's about not being a sheep and accepting everything you hear or are told without question or comment. It's not about claiming to have all the answers, sometimes all you have is a question, an inconsistency, an incongruity, an opinion, a thought.

From The Logical Song - Roger Hodgson

"There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am

Now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable."

Interestingly, today's tarot card was:

The King of Pentacles card suggests that my power today lies in responsibility. I surround myself with the conditions I wish to create and therefore have everything I need to be successful and independent according to my values and purpose. I consider the welfare of others and am a master in production. I am empowered by, and it is my honour to be, generous in offering or reproducing security, stability, and protection by my virile and reliable example. My assets are perennial trust, respect, and validation that is well deserved.


There's a lot more to it than that but for now, it will have to suffice to say that just like back in the days of amateur radio broadcasting, and in the days of the Alternative website, sometimes, you just have something to say and it doesn't matter whether or not anyone is listening because you just need to say it.
