Comments are now more user-friendly–I hope
I’ve had a couple of complaints about the fact that this blog requires people to register fully with blogger before commenting. In the interests of becoming more comment-friendly (and because I finally figured out how to fix it), I’ve changed the settings and have now made it easier to comment here. Power to the people!
UPDATE: It’s come to my attention that, even though this represents improvement, there are still some folks who are having trouble posting. So, I offer this comments tutorial for those who are even more computer-challenged than I.
The following sounds complex, but it’s really very very easy. Trust me. Take a few deep slow breaths and I’ll walk you through it.
1) Click on “0 comments” (or whatever the number of comments happens to be) beneath the post, on the right. On the left of your screen, you will then be able to view whatever comments have already been made.
2) Click on “post a comment” on the lower left.
3) Write your comment in the blank box on the right of your screen under “leave your comment.”
4) Under that box, you are given three choices for signing in under “choose an identity.” You need to choose one of the three by clicking in the circle before your choice: “blogger,” “other,” or “anonymous.”
–If you choose “blogger”: this means you have to create an account with blogger. Those who already have an account, no problem. Otherwise click on “sign up here” and follow the instructions.
–If you choose “other”: this means you just sign in with a name of your choice. There is also a space to fill in your web page URL, if you want, but you don’t have to do this.
–If you choose “anonymous,” you’re all set to post a comment.
5) After typing your comment in the box and choosing your identity, you now can post your comment, or you might want to preview it first. If posting, just click “login and publish” (if you’ve chosen “blogger” as your identity), or click “publish your comment” (if you’ve chosen “other” or “anonymous” as your identity). That’s all you need to do.
If you prefer to preview your comment before posting it, click “preview” intead. Afterwards, if you look on the lower left, you will see your comment in a yellow box. Look it over, and if satisfied, click on “publish this comment.” Otherwise, click on “edit comment,” and then fix the comment. Then click on “publish your comment” (or “login and publish,” if you’ve chosen blogger), and you’re all set.
Simplicity itself, isn’t it?
this is amazing – how’d you get this different comment box?
OH… 🙂 … and nice blog
I use to work for a company like Halliburton. I spent many years in the oil field industry. Let me streighten out the myth of oil coming from dinasours and vegitation. It doesn’t. Oil is,what most honest geoligists,ABIOTIC. To put this in simple terms, oil is made just rite outside the Earths Mantle. It is more or less a biproduct. Like what nucelar waste is to a nucelar power plant.
The oil companys want everyone to believe that there is a finite amount of oil. This is not true. Oil is made every hour of every day. And it migrates further up to the surface. The Russians have proved this to be true. The only thing a driller on a drilling rig needs to do is drill deeper for it. This is why offshore drilling is so productive. When they start drilling at the sea bed, they cut out all the drilling that would be done on land. When in all actualality they are drilling deeper, like I said earlier. Until everyone starts confronting the drilling companys about the myth of peek oil, we will continue fighting these oil wars. The oil companys and the military industrial complex are in colusion with each other. Just look at who is running the country now.

I have no real comments–just a thank you, particularly for some of the extraordinary links you provide.
I will just say, however much I support Israel’s actions in the present crisis, I am getting distinctly uneasy at the idea that Bush is using Israel to accomplish what the US is too cowardly and disengaged to do itself. If Iran is to be bombed, for example, I want the US to do it.

You are quite patient with people who are… slow, let’s put it that way, Neo.
All right already, what is a neoneocon? You want to rule the world by force of chanting at Machu Picchu? OK, I jest, sort of. Let me ask you this: do you obtain sufficient power to choose your own road by the lambency of your own mind or, like The Shadow, by clouding the minds of others? And is it possible, happening upon a wye, simply to imagine a new dimension and go traipsing off through the undergrowth, or waft oneself above the snow-laden trees like a wisp of smoke from the village below? I simply cannot accept having to describe myself as a paleolib.
Yes, blog is nice, but I don’t agree in other cases.
Hi. Really interesting blog. I’m still reading it.
BTW, you are right. Bye.
nice blog!
What is wrong with these stupid French? Police should block off all access into the towns where the rioting is dont let any body in or anybody out. When I was in the Miltary if you SH&^ in your mess kit you lived with it…. Idiot Fries
Being a neo-neocon in New England has its perils. Especially when expressing views amongst friends and neighbors. Many times after an exchange of ideas I get the creepy feeling that I wind up having less of both.
You rock! There are so many of us. Women, especially here in CA, don’t get conservatism. It’s the abortion issue or maybe the fact that conservatives simply read more stuff that’s comparative. Anyway, added you to my blogroll.
May I just say that you are a fresh breath of air?
As we age, life provides numerous wake-up calls– and some have the wisdom to stop, reflect, and reassess what they “know” to be true. Is it wisdom or mere exhaustion to arrive at the place where you know nothing?
You and I differ in many ways, but are kindred. I wish to remain out of the blog-light, but wish there was a way we could chat.
