The Blog for a New Democracy
And a different way to learn
Most people think I’m a fool for working on my alternative democracy for 28 years and not having anything to show for it. Well, there is something driving me forward. I can’t explain it.
Two years ago, I started a new TDG project. I have been copying my TDG writing from Medium and other places to the TDG website.
My shorter TDG writings are now collected in one place for the world to see. They bring a different angle to TDG education than my TDG books. And I think they help explain “Dave Volek” a little better to my future audience.
And my shorter writings are now preserved. Being scattered around Medium, other internet forums, and my computer was not a good place for the future to find them.
Boring, Boring, Boring
Moving text around platforms was not fun. The word processor for my blog came from the 1990s. It was rather finicky. It did not like text straight from MS-Word or Medium. So I had to filter text through MS-Notepad to remove all formatting and links. Then I copied the Notepad text to the blog processor. Then reformat and relink.
Graphics were another challenge. The blog processer liked graphics only when I went through a seven-obtuse-step process to move a graphic.
