Subtle Rantings

You may remember my earlier post about how there were other much smarter things a person could be doing than the activity they were participating in at a certain point in time.  However, it seems some people just haven’t learned.

There’s just something about big, ferocious carnivores that would seem to keep me from crossing one if at all possible. One such method/idea might consist of NOT sticking my hand in their cage to feed them from my hand. <rolleyes>

While it’s a tragedy, the fact that a Tiger Killed a Six-Year-Old Girl at a Chinese Zoo should not be surprising to anyone. The little girl, her mother and four other relatives were getting their picture made with this tiger that evidently performs in a circus at the Zoo when the tiger suddenly attacked the little girl with one quick swoop of his paw. While an animal that performs in a circus could/would normally be assumed to be somewhat more tame than the same animal in the wild, I don’t think standing next to any tiger to get my picture taken would’ve been the first thing I would’ve suggested for myself or my children (if I had any). Just a thought…

So I’ve joined the crowd. I’m doing the trendy thing. No, I’m not talking about FaceBook or MySpace, although I ashamedly admit to having a MySpace page (in my defense, my wife created without my knowledge!)

This is my first post in my official blog entitled “subtle rantings”. I thought the name fit because my wife will vehemently tell you that I can rant and get on a soapbox per se at the drop of a hat. However, I am trying to tone down my rants a bit, thus the “subtle” part. We’ll see how well that pans out over the coming months.

I’m a big privacy rights advocate so that will most likely consume a large amount of the content that is posted here. Also thrown in will be some computer knowlege and/or news. Also there will be your standard useless information that everyone must know; kind of like a John Tesh, “Intelligence For Your Life” style. Oh and let us not forget about the off chance that I might voice some religious opinions as well.

Anyway, to my mom, wife and the other two readers out there, thanks for reading and check back when you can. Maybe there will be a new post!
