Why I Write Blog Articles

The Phil Staudt Blog

Why do I write blog articles? Because I can. It won't make me popular, because 47% of voters are Republican and 47% of voters are Democrats, and both of those political parties disgust me. I disagree with most people who are considered to be religious, and I disagree with most atheists, and don't agree with most opinions expressed on news programs and in news articles. My opinions are like spitting into the wind. However, I have an appreciation for the fact that I live in a country where I am still free and allowed to write my opinions. The reason I write about the things that I do, is because I do not take my freedom for granted, and what I see happening right now is that there may not be freedom on this continent in ten years from now, if things continue to go the way that they are right now politically. Freedom comes with a price, and right now the price that needs to be paid is that the majority of citizens of The United States need to take a break on watching American Idol and Survivor and Tweeting and texting, and get informed and involved in what is going on around them before the carpet comes out from under them.

Furthermore, I had a stoke less than a year ago. When I called my dad he did not even know who I was because I could not say anything. My mom figured out quickly what had happened because she knows about strokes and how they cause people to not be able to speak. But the worst thing was a couple of days later when I sat down at a table in the hospital and tried to write. I was unable to put more than three words in a row. The hard drive had been wiped out. I could not come up with words. I could understand people as long as they talked slow. I could not pronounce words that I read. It took me a few weeks to be able to understand what was said on television or on the radio because they were talking too fast for me. It took me months of speech therapy and determination on my part to be able to have conversations with people without sounding like I was drunk or confused, and I still am not able to talk as well as I could before. If I relax and just try to talk at my normal pace like I used to, then sometimes words come out in the wrong order or I pronounce them wrong. So if I am talking to people I do not know I talk slowly and over-enunciate my words in order to cut down on the goofs. But when I talk to people I know, I conscientiously talk faster than is comfortable for me and keep on going in spite of the mistakes, because I know that the more I do that the better I get at talking and writing.
