We are not trying to suggest that you you are a large bovine, with multiple stomachs and large grinding teeth designed to get the cellulose out of grass. Rather that you are thoughtful, given to reflecting on the state of the world, and capable of expressing with great insight the results of your cogitations. When you are struck with such a thought, on a topic which is perhaps wide ranging and persistent, like the Comprehensive Spending Review, Nuclear Disarmament or Global Warming why not have a blog. For more local, short lived topics (have you noticed . . ., CPZ, other parking problems, fly tipping, what has Haringey done now, etc.) then start a discussion.
