Welcome to the Blog

Wait, no, you get the hell out of here. Even better still, I don't care if you're here or not - or if you like what you see. I'm completely indifferent to the popularity of this blog. But, since you're here, welcome. I'm having such a hard time grappling with this Choose Civility movement in Howard County. There are just so many problems with it.

Why would I want to only choose civility? What would stop me from going above and beyond that and choose to be downright chipper?

Then there's the geography problem. I mean, civility only in Howard County? I don't know that I could stomach that. I live here and I hate being places where people are too nice. I didn't go to a Catholic high school (Archbishop Spalding) because the people were TOO nice. I just want people to be ok with me and not stab me in my condo parking lot. That's not civility - that's staying the hell out of my way.

Also, what happens if I get used to this wave of civility and think it is the norm for other places? I am pretty sure that choosing civility has not caught on in east Baltimore. Apparently they are considering it in College Park, where I went to college. Still, that is PG County. You had better believe they are going to reject this business coming from hoity toity HoCo.

So, this blog is really an effort to come to grips with, grope, and downright molest the Choose Civility movement. It will be full of ridicule, analysis, and genuine discussion sometimes. Stop by when you can, or at least, don't cyberstab me on Facebook.
