Just wondering how you’re doing out there in Cyberspace. I just read an article about how Second Life is helping Autistic people, very interesting. I’ve been TOO busy lately but I haven’t totally forgotten about you. I’ll catch up with you sometime soon.

One year from now, will I remember that on this day I helped save one of my company’s partners $1.2 million? Probably not – because I haven’t written it down (well, now it’s written down isn’t it– bad example ). But will I be able to know, in an instant that I had a conversation with Michael Walton about blogging - because it is now written down - forever.

And thanks for contributing.

The veiled issue here is that more and more MEXICANS coming into our country without offical knowledge, and we are worried about that.

In regard to Mexicans, the vast majority of them coming across the border are not coming to add burden to our infrastruture. They are coming for the opportunity to WORK. That is the American dream, right? That a person can come here with nothing and work hard and obtain something.

So, yes, indeed we would have to share our resources (for our 10 or 100 cousins), but don’t forget that they will WORK for these resources. This is no different that any other ethnic group that has voluntarily come to America. Upon arrival they are low on the totem pole and are only given the most menial of jobs to do. This is nothing new.

This country was built by immigrants. By today’s standards, most historical immigration would have been considered illegal immigration.

Simply put, if you have a job, a residence, pay taxes, and are contributing to our economy it’s hard (for me) to say you’re ‘illegal’. Even if you are not and/or don’t want to be a citizen, you should at least be considered a ‘legal’ immigrant.

You are illegal if you have been deported from this country and told not to return. You are illegal if you have forged any part of the paperwork used to obtain work or residence once you get here. You are illegal if you are considered a criminal in your country of origin. You should not be illegal if you are coming here tired, poor, or huddled together, as many illegal Mexican immigrants are…

I think that what Jim is saying is that you can use a blog to express yourself globally. You can post thoughts, dreams, pictures and the like; all refecting your interests, and let the world know you exist.

You make use the web to put this information ‘out there’ so that others with similar interests us might see it and respond. Thus, creating two way communcation (or 3-way or more) with other people around the world.

You can think of it as the web’s equivalent of a social gathering. When you go out somewhere and meet a new person, you first start out by saying little things like “Hello” and “Hows the weather”. Eventually, you start talking about things that interest you both and you establish the beginnings of a relationship.

With a blog, you can post your interests and thoughts and someone who reads it may respond to your postings with their own posting, or even refer to yours with their own blog. This creates a form of communication between the two of you.

Of course, you don’t get the direct, immediate response you would get from a face-to-face meeting. And of course, the entire web experience is much more impersonal.

But you have to think not of interacting with a cold, simple web page, but instead think of yourself as interacting with the human being that is expressing him or herself begind the web page. Thinking like that makes the whole experience more appealing to me.

And I think also that one of Jim’s goals in life is to replace the entire web page experience with an immersive virtual reality experience.

In his mind, we would virtually see, hear, touch, and smell things in other parts of the world at any time. We could also interact and change them at will. It would, in essence, be the same thing as a web page, but about a million times more interactive.

I think that’s enough for my first blog comment. Cya

(oh, and by the way, you’ve just contributed to the relationship!)

I think it is some kind of addiction.
I fully support the idea about contribution and sharing… but the relationship part is what I do not fully understand.

Thanks for the reply… (how much time you spent on typing that out)

I love you very much Jimmy!
