War's End

It's been on my mind for some time now. I'm not happy with this decision, but I'm not upset either. I'm confused. But I think the time has come. I'm shutting down the War on Corporate Evil.

The reasons for this are many, so let me try to explain. First, I really don't like the name anymore. It's a catchy name that makes people interested, but that's about it. I'm not thrilled with corporations and their ability to act as psycopaths hell bent on destruction, but then again they aren't going anywhere either. Corporate excess is indeed a big problem in the world, but then again it's not the only problem. Human greed in all of its manifestations is the cause behind most of the problems that we face. Second, we are going to need the support of corporations in order to solve many of the world's problems. The climate crisis will destroy Earth unless corporations find it in their best interest to help effectuate change. Al Gore is trying to work to provide incentives to corporations to fix the environment, and I think that's a crucial task. Third, it's just a little too polarizing to send a message of hatred regarding all corporations. It even turns off some of my other would-be supporters. I never meant to send that message -- I only wanted to attack "corporate evil," not corporations per se -- but that's a difficult line for people to understand.

But it's more than just the name. I just don't have the time that I would need to write the kind of blog that I can be proud of writing. The blogosphere is simply amazing and there's no way that I can compete with people like Kos who devote their lives to blogging. There are better blogs in existence than this blog and there's really nothing I can do about it. I recommend you check them out.

So to my friends, this has been fun. To the strangers out there, I'm honored that you spent your valuable time reading my little blog. I hope everyone enjoyed my rantings here as much as I have enjoyed writing them. It's not Shakespeare, it's just one man's opinion. I'll keep fighting the good fight and I hope you will too.
