Sure some blogs could be run by people that are authorities on what they are talking about. I would guess most blogs are ran by people, that just want to have a small place where they have a voice, where their opinion matters, even if no one is reading it, something they have some control over. A place to vent, and a place to keep in touch with family. It truly is a child, and extension of the personal webpage (Remember those?). Yes I said webpage, not website.

It’s sort of like if people started blaming carpenters, all of them, because hurricane Katrina destroyed some houses, that were built by, you guessed it, carpenters. Of course, you will likely find some of those people out there, in this pass the blame society. Where it is more important to lay blame, than to work on solutions. Then again, maybe it would be the hammer they blame.

If I remember right, blogs became a target around and after the 2004 elections, because of all the people using them to discuss, or in some cases trash, politicians. You can sure bet, when the government becomes involved in such things, a whole lot of ignorant people (politicians), will be after it, to control it, to shape it, to destroy it, to make it suck, and so forth, ad nauseum. And of course to educate the public about it. Yeah right.

Thanks Chase, none of this was aimed at you. I appreciate being able to chime in. Have a good one.
