Change Is Inevitable!

Change is inevitable but some times when we aim to go forward, we end up going backwards!!

I stand corrected, The PATCH has succumbed to those that would like to hide from their OPINIONS! As of July 10, 2012 " We encourage, but do not require that the user name you provide be your REAL NAME". Well, there you have it instead of adhering to policies well established by mainstream publications, our young internet site returns to the days of yore, when one hides behind a wall after throwing stones, in order to not stand up to their opinions. Today, TRANSPARENCY is the order of the day with government, financial institutions and the list goes on and on but civil discourse through this service has been turned on it's head.

I don't understand what just happened, but my opinion wasn't sought out anyway. As I have written, maybe too often, those of us who have had to live in FEAR of those who hid in this way it is disheartening to see this idiocy regain a place in what should be CIVILITY. We need to be coming together and discussing, civilly, matters of great consequence that confront our communities and world. We don't have much control over the world but we certainly do in our own backyards! This kind of backward thinking will push us further apart when we should be drawing together, for our mutual safety.
