We, at anothersview, take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our blog. Three years ago–when we initiated the first blog post–we did so because believed that mainstream media either couldn’t or wouldn’t provide observations so essential to understanding the true meaning of events. Over these last three years the dynamic flow of just about every major issue has justified our blog’s objective of filling in the blanks on many stories. We’ve tried to be objective and some of you may argue that point. That’s fair. But sometimes the overwhelming weight of evidence forces us to draw conclusions that will be uncomfortable to many. In a sense, that’s why we’re doing this. Remember, compromise can only happen after opposing views are understood by both parties. A wise man once said “reasonable people equally informed seldom differ”. If that is an accurate statement–then our goal should always be to achieve reasonability and to communicate all available information. The result seldom differing. Imagine a world where this logic is universally accepted as law. Imagine what the human race could accomplish if we simply pooled our resources instead of jealously promoting and protecting self-interests. We appreciate your willingness to look beyond your biases (we all have them) and consider the possibility that there are many ways to resolve problems. Thanks again for your attention and we wish everyone a great holiday season and may 2023 may your best year yet!!!!!
In keeping with the spirit of the season we offer this brief but engaging story:
A Dollar Store cashier noted that a young man was buying a whole cart full of small stuffed animals. She said “you must have a lot of kids or nieces and nephews”. He answered “no–none”. She inquired “why so many toys?” He explained that he was a server at a large restaurant and every year he saved his loose change. He would spend whatever he collected on toys of some kind each year. He would then store the toys in the walk-in fridge at his restaurant. At Christmas when he brought the bill to his customers who had small kids he would bring them each a small toy and tell them “I just saw Santa in the kitchen and he gave me these toys for especially for you. They’re still cold from the North Pole.” He said the look on their faces was priceless. The parents were thrilled because the kids were amazed at Santa knowing where they were. And the rest of the story is: “I get a bigger tip, the restaurant gets tons of free publicity and more people come back not just at Christmas but all year. ” EVERYBODY WINS AND THAT’S WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT!!
