Speak up -- if you dare


The other day it was mentioned in my geezer class that people who take a stand -- be it on abortion, gay rights or whatever -- can expect to pay a price.

Ah, but if I did that I would pay the price of losing perhaps half my readers. (What's half of zero, anyway?)

There are plenty of social networking pages, but this is one of the few antisocial networking ones!
