A Clarification
It appears that two of my recent blog entries this week created quite a stir – and for good reason. I’m happy to say that this hasn’t happened very often to me (hardy, har), but I believe that some of what I wrote could be misinterpreted as something I don’t mean at all. In the interest of saying what I mean and meaning what I say, I also believe that at this point I do need to make a few clarifications regarding my two part piece, “Buying Local”.
First, and most importantly – I was not, by any means, advocating *any* sort of revolution. My remarks about capitalism were meant to be tongue-in-cheek, even funny. However, I can see how these remarks could be taken as support or advocacy for such an event. They were not meant to be.
Second, I wish to clarify the only point of the “Buying Local” blog entry – I was personally concerned with how to make the best, healthy choices in terms of what I buy and what I eat. This is something I think many people struggle with – especially when you’re making that choice for others.
Again, I can definitely see how the valid points that were the *real* point of the article could have been drowned out in a sea of whack-job (: D). Those of us in the electronic media must be wary of the very real pitfall of misunderstanding. I want to clarify that what I saw as a funny remark could have been taken the wrong way – and for this I take personal responsibility.
