Clarification

This is a work in progress, for instance, I've completely rewritten article 7, reposted on 12/17.
Politics articles, the first two series. Not current events but root causes, speaking from history and the obvious. Whereas the following addresses my approach to sensitive topics.

       I will make fun of various sensitivities and challenges in life, always seeing myself as the target for improvement. Mostly my writing is meant for your enjoyment and to be taken seriously, especially if you see yourself in the discussion. I expect that some people will take what I have to say as a personal afront, but you needn't do that. Take for example, early on I've used a politician, of boyish charm, as an object lesson and then proceeded to pick at the most basic male insecurities. I'm hoping you'll all get the joke and not feel an inadvertent slight. Personal sensibilities are clearly something we each have, and I am hoping, not something I'm stepped on. Giving me the benefit of the doubt, you'll come to see that my writing is all about community, evermore knowing yourself in the discussion.
       If you persevere on, way past politics, you will find that my writing increasingly paints our identity laden world into a corner. As I work to produce a unique illustration of how it's not all that it's cracked up to be. Easy for me to say, as I don't really fit in, and in many cases, I'm merely exposing my own struggles and activistic tendencies toward the world. Sort of a full Monty, or better said, years of experience in embarrassing myself. Curious though, few people find my challenged state to be all that funny.
       For instance, I was working in the oil fields, of slight stature, and at least 20 years older than the established crew, of 3-month seniority (Lord of the Flies meets artic chain gang, seriously hard work). The crew I was assigned to took up complaining about how they had recently put on quite a bit of weight - around and around - finally they stopped to catch their breath. So, I piped in, "My problem is a bit different than all that you have been saying. Fact is, if it wasn't for my penis, I'd only weigh a hundred pounds!" NOTHING. Maybe they were still catching their breath?
       By the way, I apply no oil field humor to this piece on politics, despite it so easily applying.
