I am a North Carolina native and Butner has been my home for the past 17 years. I am a Virgo, born in the year of the Ox and it just gets better from there (insert cheese). My interest are numerous, forever changing and growing. I have a strong sense of community, enviroment (past, present & future) and humanity. My Professional background includes Animal Health, Real Estate Management and Law.
On this blog, you will find humor, news and opinion on a variety of topics as well as links to things on the web that I find humorous, interesting and knowledgeable. Simply, my goal is to make you more aware. I research information before coming to a conclusion because I am a critical thinker, I blog out of concern. I invite you to explore every link, explore every story or mindset and then, come to your own conclusions. I only ask you explore beyond the talking points.
By now it should go without saying; your comments are welcome and an important part of any debate. The opinion expressed here are my own, except where material is written by other Contributors. I am not a professional writer or a journalist but I will no longer sit on my bum and say nothing about the events in my world.
Consider for a moment these words from our past. Should they not serve as warning to our errs in our future?
“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing”. Albert Einstein
“Knowledge and human power are synonymous, since the ignorance of the cause frustrates the effect.” Francis Bacon
This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance, intolerance and indifference.
–Edward R. Murrow, speech to the Radio and Television News
Directors Association, 1958.
My hope is to encourage you to research, ask questions and demand answers one post at a time, because truth is not told it is realized.

Well, I have been trying to make a go of it and blogging my brains out, but I certainly have to give you credit. That was excellently done. I don’t always make such clear points and a lot of blogs I read are poorly written and leave wondering just what were they trying to say.
I find it so hard to come up with new ideas and rewritting someone else’s work can backfire. Particularly if you don’t know whether they are truly an expert in their field. The longer I work on the internet the more I wonder about most of the content. However, to be fair their are many aurthors in the print media out there that espouse their ideas as fact when they are clearly questionable. It is almost as easy to have a book published as an ebook.
Anyway, thanks for the great blog.
interesting things youve got here. let me lurk into this one personally
Nice blog, keep up the good work

Love your blog! It is refreshing when I see those who really “get it”.
I am certainly not a sexist however , I am wondering when Palin , the super mom, last saw her children.
Hey I love your blog!!!
Dear “Butner” Blogger,
My first novel, Who By Fire, is coming out on Tuesday. It’s a story set in Israel during the Intifadah that explores what happens when we try to rescue the people we love. I would be thrilled if you would blog about my upcoming reading at McIntyre’s Fine Books in Fearrington Village, Pittsboro: October 16, 7:00 p.m. I will be appearing with another novelist, a North Carolina native, William Conescu. Admission is free and it should be a great event! If you think you might be interested, do check out my websites.
Many thanks!
Diana
Hey, can you contact me when you have a chance with the e-mail supplied?
Thanks! (and nice site)
It really is important for your readers and visitors to see that Doug Berger’s flip-flop on the NBAF, while advantageous to your cause, is truly a “johnny-come-lately” attempt to woo voters. These are voters whom he snubbed for months. THEN he saw the reality of his bad decision to support the NBAF. UIt is clearly evidence that his word is worth little.
