I will think of a title to this little post before I finish it.
This should be prefaced that I'm an immature young lad. If I had stuck to my guns, I would of ended any commentary from little old me on this whole fiasco long ago. I said I would, I didn't ... and this very post proves I have not.
Here I am. I get passionate about stuff, it is both a killer and a cure at times. And now, it's election time so everyone gets in a huff for what they feel and believe is right for our Country, this World. I'm going to end my thoughts on what many of you folks now label as 'Lemmingsgate' right now and move on to the other stuff in a second.
The whole thing with Mr. Burress is tragic, it really is. It's tragic that he WAS warned of inflammatory behavior (on at least one documented incident I know of) and continued to do so. It's tragic that while I don't agree with Bill on most subjects, that I won't have the opportunity to apply civil discourse with him on this forum again. It's tragic that AR has to spend more time addressing this, than its very purpose to begin with. It's tragic that this whole petty mess has us concentrated more on one person than it does on helping out the Profession we are all involved in ... or at least I think we are still practicing, Real Estate.
I visited Bill's Blog (his personal one) this evening and from what I gathered and read, it contained nothing but Real Estate. He seems pretty educated and experienced on such matters and I'm pretty sure is a competent individual in such matters. I saw nothing 'Political' on there ... just Real Estate. I'll be one of the first to champion the person behind the professional but I do wonder why AR wasn't used the same way by Bill. Being a Real Estate Network, it seemed that Bill had his 'Agenda.' Actually, that's not my business. Bill could use this forum for anything he wanted too, and this forum and the creators could in turn, do what they deem right for the the Community as a whole.
Listen up, with two ears preferably! I don't care what Religion you are! I don't care what Political Party you endorse or abhor!! We share one commonality that I'll prove to you and me in a second, we are human. I don't care about nothing else than that right now. I can agree with you or you with me all day long, we can disagree as well ... in either case I sure hope we are wise enough to know none of us have the answers ... not yet at least.
Election time is rearing its head close to us all here in the 'States' and whether you are for Barack, John, Hillary, Ron Paul, Jesse Ventura, Mickey Mouse, Gus Hall or whomever ... we've got to make this work and that's up to us. Point blank, I don't like the current administration. I don't like Politicians ... but I will sit and reflect and try to respect that they are like me and you. Call me whatever label is 'sexy' for the day, but we are in this gig together ... I am pretty sure of that.
For the record, I like this group. It helps to give 'Balls' & 'Passion' where it often times lacks. Just please tell me we can ALL be more enlightened than all of this ...
....and all of us can be enlightened.
