A bit of social comment if I may,
These days, there seems to be a multitude of blogs sprouting up all over the web. The blog revolution is well underway!
Interestingly, some of these blogs are transforming the way we access the news, no longer are we having to rely solely on big news organizations for information. We can by-pass big media "spin" and access news directly from first hand perspectives of "ordinary" individuals on the ground.
I find the most interesting blogs are those emanating from conflict zones around the globe (one can even find soldier blogs!) Here are couple of examples from Iraq.
* The Brothers
* Rose
The ability for visitors to post comments allows for a dialog to develop between people and cultures which perhaps can lead to a naturing of understanding and tolerance. Or I am being too simplistic?
At any rate, "information is power".
