About Writing

I'm not one who likes to share a lot of time writing and expressing what I feel. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good conversation, but I'm not politically correct and I have no intentions of being so.
I don't go out of my way to say hurtful things or be disagreeable, but neither am I going to give up my point of view just to take the high road. And if that's what the person I'm talking to is going to do or is doing, then I feel it am insult.
I grew up in an era where we were told you had the right to express your self and no one had the right to put constraints on your comments.
Understandably you can't go around calling people insulting names or threatening the life of people you don't agree with, but within reason you can say what you feel even if offends or is not what others want to hear.
This is why I don't like to write. For years in the 1960's and 70's I fought for my right to be who and what I wanted to be and I wrote about it. Then comes these times and you are pressed to use ideas that belong to a society and not an individual.
I love listening to a good discussion where there is passion and fire, whether it is one person or a group. I love to read the Passion in someones writing. The truth as you see it. Maybe, I don't see your point, but never-the-less it's the truth as you see it. Man, that's good stuff.
So, I don't want to seem like a rebel or someone who wants to be on an island, but I march to my drum beat and I am the last angry man.
One last thing, before I get completely off topic; in the 1970's I read a book by an author named Franz Fanon, and his book was written in the 1930's. His book spoke of people not having a name in society, but being ruled by numbers and spoke of the problems of freedom we've reached today being slowly withdrawn if we're not careful. I have watched the writings of book sellers and their tell all's, but none have decided to tell all the truth to the people and believe me, the people love the truth.
In this class we are learning to write. Formal, informal and from the inner most of our selves. You guys are responding with enthusiasm and color and I like it. But once we learn to write I wish we would add one more element in what we do. And that element is always be true.
A little crazy, huh?
