The Beginning of an Era
There are so many things running through my head at this moment, and I am trying to find a way to express the excitement of being a part of this great adventure that we are calling GetOutLB.com.
By now, hopefully we planted a little seed of expectation, excitement or just simple curiosity—and we will try hard not to disappoint.
What will you find in this section?
Current events worth talking about, that are affecting our society and keeping us from being a more integrated entity. We are being bombarded with information and points of view from every media source imaginable, opposite points of view that are making it very hard to find the real facts. You will find topics with substance and that are worthy of your time. We live in a time where everyone is fighting to have their 15 minutes of fame for something that may not even offer one second of intelligence. We will avoid that!
This section will try its best to maintain neutrality and offer an objective perspective on any topic that will be presented here. We will make sure to present all aspects of what is being covered and check facts from direct sources. We won’t twist the facts! We will let you decide what’s best to make an informed decision.
This section will be done with this phrase in mind, one that Benjamin Franklin famously quoted: “If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.”
Come on OUT, LB! Let’s rock this boat!
