Cav's Place

Even though yesterday was a pretty calm day on all counts, I didn’t do much of anything, so here I am once again struggling on Sunday evening to write a second post for the week. It still won’t be about the situation in Egypt because, quite frankly, I couldn’t possibly say anything more about what’s going on there. I would have preferred this to have ended already, likely after the people would have marched towards the presidential palace in large numbers and forced the army to take sides, but as long as they’ll succeed it’s less important how they do it. What will happen afterwards remains to be seen, but currently what we see in Egypt and lots are lots of heroes the world should at least take one moment to bow down to.
Perhaps, once that revolution will end with the victory of the people, I will manage to extrapolate and write a more generic post about such issues, however. Probably not just about the effects this should and likely will have on the Arab world, and perhaps even beyond, but about what the whole world has to learn from it and where should we go from here. Because there are many lessons to learn and quite a few issues to act on now when the time appears to be right, so it would be a terrible waste not to make use of this moment. Who knows when will there be another.

But, as I said, that’s not the point of this post. Then again, this post doesn’t really have a point other than being the second one written this week, in order to stick to my rule, but something did happen recently and I wanted to point it out. That’s because it can end up having something to do with Global Population Speak Out, as it could help me prepare for what I mean to do this month in order to fulfill my pledge.
What I mean to say is that, as a result of some recent discussions with a couple of people, I was reminded of that sex education forum I was a moderator on for a few years, while being with Andra. In fact, I’m still a moderator on it despite not logging on in some five years, as the administrators never demoted anyone, in fact hardly ever logging on at all. Either way, I somehow ended up posting a message, since I was there, and was asked if I could decide to stay on, for old times’ sake. That prompted me to list the reasons why I perhaps shouldn’t, which included the fact that I’m so radically against having children and that the topic is likely to come up on such a forum, especially since I had already noticed that some of the regular users and even moderators already had children, which automatically meant that I saw them as “enemies” from the start.
Thing is that, though I just expected to be laughed at a little, cursed at a little more and then ignored, especially considering how inactive the forum appears to be, there seem to be a few who felt like starting a conversation on the topic. More surprising is that one appears to even agree with the general idea. The rest, of course, don’t, but I could practice with them, sharpen my claws a little, for the actual actions I have in mind for this month, during GPSO. Which actions really should at least happen next week, since at first I meant to do something this week and obviously didn’t. But those plans of mine will tax me quite a lot, so I could really use this practice first… If I won’t find it too taxing in itself and become even less likely to do anything more.
