What are YOU Thinking?!

In early March 2010, after a stream of passionate thought and a need for some personal action this blog was conceived. It is now nine months later and, after this gestation period, I think it is due time to see what, in essence, was created here.

I know of only one way to accomplish this goal:  
AN INTERVIEW WITH MY READERS
