Edmund Burke wrote, "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." Many years later, this has been paraphrased as "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". I rather like the misquote. It's straight and to the point. This is exactly what I hope you'll find in this blog.
Let's be frank. Blogging has been around for well over a decade, and blogs are prolific. Does the world need another viewpoint? Better yet, could there be a finite number of viewpoints? After all, They say there are only seven original plots (we know better, but that's what They say). For years, politics has been about two sides. "The Truth" only has three. So, are there a finite number of viewpoints?
Maybe so.
But here's mine anyway.
Let me introduce myself. I am known as Beth, but my given name is Elizabeth Lubel. Sure, google me if you think it's necessary. There's some stuff out there. I turned 40 this year. I live outside of New Orleans right now, southeast of it. I miss it a lot. I'm a former teacher, a current private chef, and a future...yeah, that's good. I'm a future. I'm divorced with zero children, and I quite like it that way. There are enough children to look after in this world right now. I can barely keep up with them. I'm decidedly single. Almost two months ago, I broke up with a someone who has not quite learned how to treat people. Or animals. I've struggled to find the reason why I spent over three years with this man. I think that struggle has led me to a conclusion:
The culmination of the aforementioned synopsis has led me to create this blog. It's my third one. By finding this blog, you can count on a couple of things from me.
See you soon,

I would rather fail than give up.
The culmination of the aforementioned synopsis has led me to create this blog. It's my third one. By finding this blog, you can count on a couple of things from me.
- Statements of strong opinions, using strong language
- Entries about food and dining
- Stories that need to be told
- Ideas about our world
- Man-bashing
- Pro-Feminism or Man-bashing as a result of pro-feminism
- One-sided politics (unless it just has to be said)
- Spelling errors
See you soon,
