Welcome to 'Hermann Hearsay' ....

Welcome to 'Hermann Hearsay'!

This is a place to freely discuss and debate stories of local interest. Your opinions and viewpoints will always be welcome. While other local venues may edit, censor and even refuse to publish your comments, that will never occur at 'Hermann Hearsay'.

Please feel free to speak out anonymously and passionately about important local issues. Although your opinions and viewpoints may go against the grain and challenge the thinking of others, we will support and defend your Constitutional right under the First Amendment to freely express your views.

We will start out very small with only a handful of regular participants. But as time goes by and the conversation at this site becomes more lively and open, we will gain more and more followers. Think of this place as your local cyber coffee shop. Think of it as a place where you can come to discuss the news of the day with others who are interested in the same things you're interested in.

Now, we won't always agree on all things. Thank the Lord for that! It would be a very boring world if we all thought alike! This will be a place where you will meet new friends. Some will think exactly like you, and others will stretch your thinking.

We encourage you to discuss and debate the issues of the day openly and passionately. But please refrain from using profane language and please treat one another with courtesy and respect. Please be agreeable in your disagreements.

We will endeavor to post an article each day to provoke thought and discussion. We will focus on the following subjects: community issues, city government, county government, state government, federal government, Missouri Tiger sports, and recipes. These are our interests. What are yours? What subjects or topics would you like for us to research and report on?

Your site moderator,

Truman T. Tiger
