A new blog?

I am toying with the idea of closing this blog down and starting a new one, or, at least, renaming this one. 

Why? Well, when I started the explosive-cargo ezine, all these years ago, the name fit. I was writing a column that was more or less funny, and which sought to slip a few “explosive” ideas in between the lines. There’s nothing particularly new or unusual in that. It’s sort of what people have always done when they’ve written about politics or society, particularly when they are trying to be comic about it.

But, now, that’s not the case. I’m not being funny any more, or not often. And, frankly, we no longer need explosives in our discourse. The bomb has long ago exploded. What we’re doing now is trying to pick up the pieces. 

So, maybe something new…

What is the antithesis of a firecracker?
