The Peace Boat

Amid all the news about how much pigs love lipstick, something very different occured on Sept 7, 2008. The Peace Boat sailed from Yokohama. Now back when I was in the land of the Rising Sun, where life was beautiful and the trains ran on time-I used to see posters

The bloggers creed….

I shall write with my head held high. My ideas have value and merit……and need to be heard. Even though others shall try to intimdate me, I shall not be swayed. When trolls enter my comment zone-I shall not censor. When I comment over in echo chambers, I shall not
