Let me introduce myself....

[Pototan]

4. When I was employed, I made a conscious effort...

To stay off social media. I had no face book, twitter or any other account. I had to represent people who made comments that got them into trouble, and I didn't need any of that shit. My job was a dream job and the only communication I had was through emails and every one of them was a professional interaction and I would re-read them. My thought was always "would I be OK if this email appeared on the front page of The Boston Globe" before I hit send.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I was a hell of a debater when I was working or in a discussion with one of my asshole cousins, but I never put anything in writing, and as it turned out, nobody ever recorded me.

But now, I can interact anyway I want in writing and there's nobody in the Philippines that talks US politics, and I don't discuss Philippine politics, since I can't vote here.

So, my political discussions are going to be confined to DU, in writing, and in a political "family" in which I have more of an opportunity of finding people who agree with me.

Of course, my posts may seem strange because they will appear in wee hours of the morning to you, since the time difference is 13 hours (mid-night EST is one in the afternoon the next day here). I will probably post after I come in from the sun in the late afternoon. My only work now a days is working on my tan.
