Sounds such a glib comment - but its not intended to be .

I appreciate the fact that i am able to  sit and talk into a microphone attached to a computer and speak to the world. I am lucky in that i have had serious health issues but thanks to modern medical science and some very dedicated doctors and nurses i am still here to chat. 

I had a couple of great careers that were open to me because i was born in a certain place at a certain time and had great parents who sacrificed to give me opportunities that they didn't have. 

I live at a time when free speach is still just about hanging on by its finger tips but its out there is you are a little careful about the way that you say things.

Thats why i am happy to live with such a glib title - I do this because i can..
