FEAR -- The Spectre That Must Be Laid To Rest


Re: Polls on this site:


I have been doing this blog because it is something that needs to be done; I do not need to do it. The number of people turning the pages of this blog each day is amazing. I have an accurate count and I know how many. In the two months since I have started this there have been more than 2000 visits

More than sixty people on average per day turn these pages; the highest being 145 visits in a single day, February 24, 2006. I know you like what you see on these pages because it speaks of us and of course some of you do not. That’s to be expected. Why turn these pages if silent is all you want to be.

Your silence also speaks of you; it defines the kind and quality of people you are. You are measured by what you say, as well as, by what you do not say. Nothing is after all just that, nothing. I know most of you out there are people of substance and the time has come to show it. Complacence is complacence and participation is the way to freedom.

The polls on this site are to gage your opinions, use them as a measure of what you truly believe and if you want a poll on a particular issue or idea let me know.


Well wishes,

F. Stanley Boyd
