One of the most fundamental reasons I blog is to improve my writing. As the old saying goes, “practice makes perfect.” How else can I get good at it if I’m not well-practiced? The other reason is to try and undo some brainwashing. To all of us, it can be unkind for someone to tell us that a mysterious person/s has brainwashed us. But… it’s the truth! Some brainwashed people don’t realize it.
