One Million Thanks

This afternoon my blog crossed the one million reader milestone!
.

About 60% of readers come from America. The balance is equally divided between Europe and Asia. I’m pleased with this result. I try to write about issues with global consequences. At one time or another, my articles have been read in damn near every country on the globe. Much of my writing has been critical of government policy. Some of these muses have broken through governmental sensors. (A hello to those readers in Iran, North Korea and China.)

Many of you have come to this blog as a result of reading something of mine in one of the E-magazines that I submit my material to. On average, I get about 10 reads in the magazines for every one that I get on this blog. Thank you to all the E-mags that have supported me.

I want to specifically thank Tyler Durden and the folks at Zero Hedge. ZH was the first E-mag to give me a break. That was back in July of 2009. Without the visibility provided by ZH, I would not have kept this up.

I also want to thank all of the readers, specifically those who have given me feedback through comments. I read every comment (both here and in the E-mags). Although I have a pretty thick skin, some of your words have gotten to me.

I end my missives with a picture that ties things together. Finding the images often takes more time than the writing. There are many examples where I found an appealing image and then built a story around it. I often use graffiti. There are over 10 million graffiti images online. If you look, you will find one that matches with just about anything. (The images at the close of this piece prove my point.)

This LINK takes you to flickr where you can view some of the images I have used.

Thanks to all!
