Blogging in a small town about a small town

One of the problems of living in a small town is that everyone knows your business, and you should assume if someone doesn’t know your business – they soon will. Everyone knows everyone and if you say something about somebody they’ll hear about it.

That presents a tiny dilemna for me – a dilemna, but definitely a tiny one. I know that if I blog about something… a situation… a person… a business in town they’ll hear about it sooner or later – particularly because now I’ve started a Google Adwords campaign for this site. So what am I to do? Blog to accomodate people’s feelings, or blog the truth? Well I think I’m going to be blogging here according to my conscience.

For instance… if someone tells me in confidence that there’s a paedophile living next to the green house on Blah street you can be sure I’m going to out her or him. Or if I find out that someone is insulting the United States and revealing it might incur a cross-border airstrike with a Hellfire missile I’ll probably keep my mouth shut.

The point I’m trying to make is with this blog I’m going to try and do what’s right for the greater good – but not at the expense of what’s right. Wish me luck hahaha!
