Well, here it is, my final post. I would say that some of you would be happy but, truth be told, I'm not sure anyone is reading anymore, and those that are probably wold be sad to see me go. Thank you my kindhearted friends for supporting me with your comments and ideas.
I tried to fulfil my promise to be as close to unbiased as I could while still retaining my sanity and no one seemed to object too much. I also fulfilled my promise that if you ever came up with a flaw in my arguments that I would address it. I'm proud of this blog, as little difference as it made. And so, along with my blog, I bid one final toast...
Farewell my dear friend, Voice.
We are in an interesting age, one where we can find any number of opinions, facts, counter-facts, and stories. We are surrounded by information, the cheapest to create and yet the most valuable commodity we can have.
And yet...
With so much information ringing for our attention its a wonder more people don't go crazy. It's all so much to keep track of, not to mention how much of it is suspect. The Internet has opened up a new age for human kind but I think that we are still living, largely, in the old age. We don't know who to trust and leap to conclusions all at the same time. Our lives grow more and more busy and stressful with each passing day while our economy spirals into oblivion. Lies surround us and the truth hides because we don't really want to know, it might be too much.
With the ringing of a thousand voices we can hardly tell the good from the bad anymore, but there is still hope. when it all comes down to it, in the end, we can still make a difference.
With that in mind i leave you with this parting advice...
Be courageous in the pursuit of peace
Be loving in the pursuit of victory
Be understanding in the pursuit of justice
Be accepting in the pursuit of truth
Be prepared to take the consequences of your actions
Be unafraid to act none the less
But most of all
Keep thinking, cause no one will ever have the answers, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Keep Thinking
-Arno

Lovely posting, I think it is all good advice to follow. I agree that we are in an age of so much information and yet the truth is still hard to find and I am also suprised that more people have not gone crazy with so much "ringing for our attention",--point well written!!!
Amen, brother. And besides, who is to say that the internet doesn't just make up things sometimes?
