Stepping Out

There are certain topics that are always bound to cause some sort of controversy when a person steps out and starts stating their opinion on the matter. Obviously this is because of the importance and sensitive nature of these topics. So because of potential conflict of fears of attack, people keep their mouths shut. Or if they do talk, it is done with people who are a safe audience with the safety of a general consensus. It is incredibly difficult to discuss issues in a civil and mature manner with the general populous. Because of this difficulty and other issues, it is incredibly rare that this happens. While most people will nod and agree with this assessment, not as many people will step forward and do something to change this. I have definitely been in this category for several years. I intend to change this, at least in my own life.

Envision Integrity is going to be my forum to share my beliefs and thoughts mainly in the realm of politics. This will not be a place for partisan politics as usual. It will be a place where ideas and policies are evaluated from a perspective of practicality, integrity, honor, and common sense.

I do not expect people to always agree with my ideas or thoughts. I do expect people to respond in a civil manner with their own ideas and thoughts. Personal attacks against anyone will not be tolerated. To put it incredibly simply, I will delete any comment that is inflammatory (i.e. violent, racist, derogatory, etc) or is a personal attack.

Now let’s start talking and having a dialogue. Let’s create a forum were diverse opinions can be talked about without people wanting to destroy each other. Then let’s share these ideas with our representatives and be a positive force for change in our great country!
