Prologue & Acknowledgment

Hello, World! The concept of blogging is new and when the opportunity came, I quickly took it. It's a good idea to have a forum for our ideas and views on different topics; the days of the opinion column or the editorial are about to end. Enter the different blog sites!

One of the basic human rights is the freedom of expression; and this and related sites are prime examples of this concept. Of course this freedom is not the same as licence; we should not forget that freedom is coupled with responsibility. We may not publish things of shady nature, or even outright malicious or evil. We only have to use information for the good of all?and society's upliftment. The Serenity Prayer is thus appropriate:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

I warmly acknowledge http://www.google.com/ and http://www.blogger.com/ for this offering of a free blogging service, which I intend to use also as a regular website, if that is possible. Different people have different views or opinions on things; let's repect each other! Everybody is welcome to read these blogs; those who wish to contribute, just inform me (see profile). ? Charlie
