There was a time when I went on the site every other day, just to check up on things, just to make sure everything was looking okay and running well. But I just realized that's it's been a good long while since I've even looked at the main page. And there's no such thing as a good excuse, so I won't try to come up with one. At any rate, things in the Life of Holly have begun to wind themselves down now, and I'm back to bugging you all the time about all the different stuff that's worthy of attention in this world.

I've been trying to stay away from writing anything about the war. Even normally level-headed people have the ability to get very passionate about certain subjects, war being one of them, and I really don't want to be the cause of any high emotions. Especially negative ones, which is all people seem to express nowadays.

I will say one thing, though. Freedom of speech is one of the rights we, as Americans, hold very dear. It's a simple idea: Everyone has the right to express their thoughts and feelings about anything without the fear of imprisonment or physical/verbal harm. That's it. We've sent our own beloved countrymen overseas to a completely different world to spread this message of freedom, in all its forms. So when someone says something about the war that you find hard to hear, just remember that they have the undisputed right to say it without you getting in their face about it.

That's all. I'm not going to say anything else about this war.

So, until next time kids, go on out and express yourself; just make sure you're letting others do the same.
