I'm just going outside. I may be sometime.

I have decided to depart for another life elsewhere. I am too old & a bit too bored for this.

Unfortunately, I do not respect any & every belief that people hold. Many of them I find a bit silly. I am not willing to be a hypocrite, so I will make fun of what I find funny, & treat as frankly idiotic what I find frankly idiotic.

Its been fun, but now its not.

The idea that before I post anything I will have to analyse it, go over it with a fine-tooth comb & determine whether some Bible-belt fundamentalist, some member of al-qaida, some Buddhist monk on a mountain in Tibet or some ..... (fill in the blank) will be offended by it, re-word it, edit it, or just not bother to post it at all is not appealing.

I am the way I am. I post the way I post. I don't ask anyone to like me - I merely ask them not to keep bloody whining about me (at least not in my hearing).

Its for the best. I'm afraid, as I said, I'm just too old, & too bloody minded, to change my ways now.
