Blah blah blog

Interesting... as boredom would have it, I browsed through blogs that some of my friends have been following and then blogs that they were following and chanced upon this particular blog undoubtedly cast by some angry young female. Yes I'm quite sure that she's young and a woman, she said so herself. What she didn't say, hence an assumption of mine, is that she is angry. Of the 10 posts that I read, 10 were rants, short and angry outbursts culled from whatever she seemed to read or watch on the news. She is also elitist, another assumption based on her favorite books and taste in art, coffee and everything else. She is a socialist, which is quite ironic given my assumption of her elitist stance.

I didn't bother to go beyond the 10 posts of hers that I read. This wasn't the type of blog that I like reading anyways.

Striking to me is that there is such a lot of criticism coming from the pages of such blogs without anything constructive in return. Of course, that is their right and there is nothing wrong with it. In much the same way I have a right to express my dislike for it by way of this post.

Now I ask a question, does going out and publishing a blog come with any real responsibility? I recall reading somewhere that the blog has become such a potent weapon in getting an advocacy or opinion out there. A few months back, a lot of people were outraged at this father and son public official who along with their armed bodyguards ganged up on another father and son tandem of avid golfers at a country club. Not that I'm saying it didn't happen or that it was a case of fabricating a tall tale, just that it spread like wildfire in blogging circles and all without the benefit of getting both sides of the story.

Well, I'll be stopping there. I realize that I'm not in any position to create a conclusion even if it is only personal. Besides, it's boring me. Time to browse for something more worthwhile to read.
