Your Blogs are good. I too am new to this site and am wondering at the scoring system myself, so "ugh". I wonder if I get 15 points PLUS the ugh points for containing it within my comment. As to the un-answered blogs, in my case, I am building an article archive which I will send over as a link to a web site eventually. The archive will be a library of historical articles as they occured, making it possible to cross-reference research others are doing. It is my hope that the day will come when someone will click on any one article and, seeing other topics, spend the day or bookmark for future reading on issues and articles they won't find in the'controlled-media'. So un-answered blogs are no concern to me, as any one hit can open the door to a whole new world for anyone who looks, and it does happen. Patience is the key.
My friend had a site with no popups or links from Corp. sponsors, being told the conventional wisdom and ignoring it for a target audience. Over three years he bacame 'grugyn' owned any search for the term, and was number 3 most hated by hate-group watchdogs, who try to squelch free speech. Once in, the more they tried to stop him, the more people wanted to see what they weren't supposed to see, and it just kept growing, beholden to no one. It takes time and patience, and it is substance and content which gets you to the top.
Look at drudgereport.com, he used to be an independent reporter of tips no one else could get. Now he's revealed as a shill for the Republicans who was installed by thei slipping him tips against Clinton. He used to brag he worked alone and independently and people flocked to him. All you'll find at his site now is hollywood stories and news you can get anywhere with not a word against a Republican. I don't even use him because I know what he was about, BUT his reputation as a maverick and scoop-man has endured and he fools average un-thinking Citizens daily. Get the nich and work it, it will pay off in time.
You responded to my blog on the economy yesterday and I want to again refer you to the site http://www.cafr1.com. This site will rock you as it sinks in that the government is scamming us to the tune of trillions of dollars. There is no deficit, no debt, no financial instability at all. True.
As an example, the citizens of the State of New Jersey, as of 1999 are owed by their government, $146,000.00 for every man, woman, and child in the whole State. When first elected and after examining the books, Jesse Ventura accidentally happened upon the Minnesotas CAFR (Cumulative Annual Financial Report) and just pulled out a couple billion to balance his State's budget. They were not happy but know that he could pull out more any time he chooses and so there is probably some deal to keep him from revealing it to the Citizens there.
There have been thousands of news reporters hired by New Jersey Govt. over the years and it appears the reason is their discovery of this hidden second set of books. Just go to cafr1.com and see for yourself, it will blow you away to learn the most important un-reported story of the last half-century.
Within the cafr lies the "them" that all conspiracy theorists look for. The names, dates, totals, are all in the cafr scam. Blog ON.
