Humbug

I have noticed that blogs are getting a presence in movie TV programs. I watched a TV script last night where the bad guys brag about their evil deeds in their personal blogs. Even news reporters are quoting from blogs as if they are some sort of automatic authority. Terrorists like to brag on blogs. I guess maybe I too publish my evil deeds here. Ha!

Someone could assume the blogs are to blame for misdirection. How insane! It is the writer that has the responsibility for content.

Just because it is printed, doesn’t make it the truth. The newspapers and writers have been playing that scam for hundreds, maybe a thousand years. The Internet blog is guilty only because it is quick and easy for anyone to post. That doesn’t make blogging evil. It’s just another modern medium for information (good or bad) display. The truth belongs to the originator. Don’t kill the messenger. A thumbtack bulletin board in a shopping mall hallway can be used in the same way.

I have never heard of a telephone that could prevent the spreading of lies or being blamed for doing so!

There are so many blogs that only a very low percentage has any real importance. This blog could disappear today and not be missed. (Tell me otherwise!)

One thing a blog is — is a never ending story book. You don’t read it once. It acts more like a soap opera or the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going and going and going!
