Notso.com has been up and running, in one form or another, for a long time. When I first thought about an opinion website I remember looking at the political situation at the time and thinking, “things are not so good that they couldn’t get better, but they certainly are not so bad they won’t get worse.” So, notso.com was registered and I started posting opinions and inviting replies. A few years ago, I changed the format to a blog, something that was barely starting at the time, and I invited replies. And damn!, do I get replies.

A fairly high percentage of responses agree with me, and for the most part I don’t post those. I’ve had replies in several languages but since I’m American and only know English, I have no idea what non-English replies are saying, so I don’t post those. I’ve had offers for web hosting and web site promotion, male performance enhancement, all sorts of things. I’ve also had offers to run ads to generate cash, but I don’t want to do that, I don’t like the idea of sponsors to answer to. It’s been suggested that I create a gofundme page and ask for donations, and I may do that, I’d like to expand what’s offered here, and if my Macbook dies (it’s acting up) I probably will.

I welcome comments that don’t agree with me, but I tend not to post them unless they’re at least semi-literate. And for a while I was getting almost daily posts from folks affiliated with biblefreedom.com – long, detailed religious treatises, more than two dozen identical replies from different email addresses, but all listing the same web site. That website is still up and running, and it’s about as fundamentalist and far right as it can be. It’s not my kind of belief system, but I don’t criticize anyone’s religious beliefs, until they try to impose them on me or anyone else. It your beliefs get you through the dark of night, you’re welcome to them.

So, I hope you enjoy your visit here, and find something to pique your interest, make you think, maybe smile in agreement but certainly make you want to reply and tell me why you think I’m as full of shit as a Christmas goose. Then, “game is on.”
