Integrity

My dad used to say, dont say anything you wouldnt sign your name to - Its sage advice. It has kept me from saying something that would have felt really, REALLY, R.E.A.L.L.Y. good at the time, but I probably would have regretted later.



I have been thinking about this for a while. When things change in this Country - when the Global companies cease to be global and people do not know who to trust - they will go local. They will borrow from the local bank - they will buy their lumber from the local yard - they will get their livestock feed from the local farm and grain. People will have store accounts where the person writes it on a little card - like it used to be. Someone's word will mean more than it ever has....



Honesty, Trust and Integrity will again be a marker of a man's success and not the neighborhood he lives in or the car that he drives.



To that end - I have never posted anything Anonymous. Its cowardly and its really immature. Well....let me take that back - I have seen posts where someone is brutally honest about themselves and to put ones name would have just added to the pain. But I dont have the kind of blog which brings out the personal confessions..... I have also seen posts where someone is telling something sensitive that could be considered OPSEC..... I dont have that kind of blog either....



But the thing is - nothing is Anon. Nope - so, all the trolls out there, there is a program out there that will let me see the IP addresses, tells me where you are, Who you are....



I havent pulled the plug on Anon. posts. I havent looked anyone up - yet! People have the freedom to say what they want - even if its stupid and immature. But there may come a time when I do not allow Anon posts.... People will have to man up in order to say something rude - but I doubt many will. They will just scurry for the corners, kind of like flicking on the light and watching the roaches scramble for darkness....
