I’m the kind of person that knows a good bit about a lot of different topics. Sports, computers, video games, science, health, biology, chemistry, sports medicine, anatomy, guitar, etc
I know a decent amount about these things but I’m not an “expert” in any field. So how do I go about choosing a blog “niche”?

Open Your Minds America
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — As people shout over each other and tune out diverging views in town hall meetings, the health care debate is proving to be symptomatic of a major ailment threatening our nation:
A contagious culture of closed-mindedness threatens to suffocate our progress as a society.
Why has it become so difficult to even consider changing our minds about important issues?
Here’s my diagnosis.
Increasingly, the willingness to change one’s position on political issues has been misread as a mark of weakness rather than a product of attentive listening and careful deliberation.
During the 2004 Presidential campaign, the successful branding of John Kerry as a flip-flopper doomed his bid. Fear of “flip-flopper syndrome” is apparently catching like the flu, because today’s politicians are not alone in their determination to adhere to partisan positions despite the changing needs of our nation.
Nearly everyone’s so reluctant to appear wishy-washy that they stand firm even when the evidence is against their views.
Three factors exacerbate this paralysis by lack of analysis: labels, lifestyles and listening.
First, the labels ascribed to many potential policy tools render sensible options taboo, loading what could be rational, economic or social measures with moral baggage. This narrows our choices, hemming in policy makers.
Any proposal including the words “government-run” elicits cries of “socialism” and “communism.” Any argument invoking the words “God” or “moral” sparks accusations of “right-wing extremism,” “fascism,” or “Bible-thumping.” Instead of listening to each other’s ideas, we spot the warning label and run the other way.
Second, our lifestyles favor knee-jerk reactions. The way we think, work and live in the Digital Age demands we quickly categorize information without investing time into rich interaction, research and understanding.
We’re hesitant to ask questions because we don’t have time to listen to the long, complicated answers that might follow. And we lack the time to fact-check competing claims. In our haste, it’s easier to echo our party’s position than drill down, questioning whether party leaders are motivated by our best interests or the best interests of their biggest contributors.
Third, we tend to listen only to like-minded opinions as media fragmentation encourages us to filter out varying perspectives. If you’re a liberal, you avoid FOX News. If you’re a conservative you revile MSNBC. The dynamic is even more pronounced online, where a niche media source can be found for any outlook.
This silences the opportunity for meaningful dialogue and deliberation that might lead to reformulating positions, forging sustainable compromises, and developing consensus crucial to moving our nation forward on complex issues.
So how can we overcome this challenge, starting with the health care debate? How do we open our minds to the possibility that we could actually learn from somebody else?
a)
liberals and conservatives
b)
people who can’t make up their minds to politician John Kerry
c)
politicians and right-wing extremism
d)
the health-care debate to an ailment or sickness

I’ve been doing some looking around on the internet for ways to get rid of Bacterial Vaginosis, and keep stumbling accross this book “3 Days to Permanent BV Relief” or “BVCures”. It seems like the web is flooded with this, has anyone actually tried this book? I’m not willing to pay $50 for a book, sorry. I see that the “remedy” in this book can actually be found elsewhere on the net, if you’re willing to do the research. Any research I do only turns up tons of marketing websites trying to sell this book.
Is there an actual remedy, or are these just charlatans complaining about the dirty little secret health companies won’t tell you, meanwhile they won’t tell you unless you buy their ridiculously overpriced book?
