		<description>Speaking of coming a long way, here&#039;s some great news out of the UK.I just saw this report on Paganism in England. Apparently over there it&#039;s spreading like nowhere else. They&#039;re even saying it&#039;s becoming a serious competitor against &quot;traditional&quot; religion:

		<description>That is because you are an unusually intelligent and erudite fellow, Makarios :) As with most things, it depends a great deal on how it is received. I try to be frank and forthright when I write; I don&#039;t go out of my way to offend, but I realize that what I say may have that unintended consequence. If so, that&#039;s because don&#039;t believe in pulling punches.

And thank you. I had an entirely different piece in mind originally; I was going to launch right into the issues, but when I saw everyone was going the direction of &quot;this is who I am&quot; I sat down and wrote up a new one.

I think we&#039;re off to a good start on P+P. I look forward to learning a few things and being introduced to some new viewpoints. 

I run into a different crowd here than I do on Gods Own Party when I do a guest post there (less of a Pagan crowd) and likewise with NewsJunkiePost (mostly progressives with some conservatives come to fight). I have also become a full time writer for Politicus (www.politicususa.com) and my first piece there should be appearing any day now (they&#039;re doing some updating to the site).

Right now I&#039;m looking at an article a week for both P+P and Politicus and I hope to write at least a couple a week for Heathen&#039;s Day with an article here and there for NJP as well.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve read your introductory post (and those of the other bloggers who&#039;ve posted there). Really looking forward to seeing what develops.

Re. your intro, by the way--from what I&#039;ve read here and elsewhere, I wouldn&#039;t characterize you as &quot;surly&quot; (although I&#039;d concur with the &quot;serious&quot; piece). Frank and forthright, yes, but not surly.

Again, looking forward to seeing your contributions &quot;over there.&quot;</description>

		<description>Thank you, Sorn. I don&#039;t foresee any difficulties in finding topics to address, and it will give a home to my more politically oriented religious posts. It is a great venue and I&#039;m working with some very talented people.</description>
