Why a Blog?

I thought alot about this, but don't want to go on about it.

Actually, the point is that this is done with 1/2 an eye on history - like photography it's interesting to capture the way you think about things at a particular moment in time in a similar way that you capture an image at a given moment...

I'd like to use the blog to say what I think about various things, and certainly hope to be of sufficient interest to be read / even 'regularly read' by someone / somewhere?

And because I'll write about things that interest me I really hope to encourage a bit of debate and views from others - everyone should feel very welcome to 'chip in'...

...maybe it will be interesting for me or 'my ancestors' to look back on in 10 (for me), 50 (for me, but probably that's pushing it...maybe someone could read it out to me at that stage?) or 100 year (that's certainly the ancestors bit!)?
