When I started this blog, I picked the screen name Citizen D because, at that time, I had just left a job at the Wal-Mart home office. Rather than for my first name, David, the D stands for Disappear. It was a reminder to me that, whatever happened, I couldn’t disappear into the drone of society and just be another faceless citizen, that I had an obligation, as a citizen of humanity and a child of the creator, to make a difference in the lives of others. Wal-Mart, at least in my opinion, was diametrically opposed to that attitude during my tenure; I felt it was a breeding ground for non-thinking, capitalist, Mr. Sam worshippers. That’s why it inspired me.
While I still believe that, just like every one of us, I have an obligation to make a difference, I cannot carry on as Citizen D. The details are crucial, but they aren’t important for this forum. So, before I close this thing down, I just wanted my readers to know why I chose that name. If the blog has made a positive difference in even a small way, to even one of you, then I accomplished my goal. Thanks for reading.
For the last time,
Citizen D
