A Thought About Thinking

Not long ago I was at my sister-in-law Stacia's house, and we were talking about a few different things that have been going on lately in the family, world, etc, etc. She said something very interesting that I have been thinking about ever since. She said: "Isn't it funny that we never speak up about anything unless we're against it? No one really ever speaks up about an issue unless they have a problem with it, and its kind of sad that rarely do we hear what people think--we only hear about what they don't think."
I have been thinking a lot about that lately, and I think she's right. At least from my own part, I rarely let people know about how I feel about things--regardless of whether I agree or disagree. So I am going to use this as a means to periodically say what I think about certain issues, and just share my opinion--even if no one acually reads it anyway :-)
Its just like Eddie Vedder once said: "If you donn't stand for something, you'll fall for everything." I'm not the most articulate person in the world, but I hope some of my thoughts may be enough to at least get us to think a little bit more about some things.
