Why would one post a blog? Why do I write this stuff here? As of this post, I don't think anyone has read this besides myself. Is this just the 21st century method of talking to one's self?
I ask this because this blogging stuff is so easy and prolific on the internets in this new century that every Joe-keyboard-owner feels he has a valid and informed opinion on any subject they run across on the six o'clock local news. Do I read these blogs? Yes, I enjoy seeing everyone's opinion from every angle. I begin to have a problem with it when the arguments devolve to spin and specious arguments having little to do with the topic at hand. Arguments which are more suited to a drunken bar discussion than intelligent human conversation.
Does this make me special? No, I never said that. I will often succumb to the spin and emotional rationalization that comes with various topics, but I do my damnest to quell that and objectify my arguments. It makes me sound smarter. :)
Back to the prolific opinion pool called the Internet: A place where anyone can post an opinion, a thought, have a discussion on any topic imaginable with any person around the world. This was unheard of when I was brought to this planet. But most of what one finds is often an incoherent jumble of letters one might consider a thought if they didn't have to fuck their cousin and ask their one-armed offspring what it was trying to say. This is where I get upset. Why do I have to sort through the tons of absolute shit before getting anything useful? Since when is StarBug456's opinion about a random vacation picture one has posted mean anything? Why do I ask so many rhetorical questions?
The Internet has brought communication and information in volumes never even imagined. But when a very large majority of that information is complete shit, is is really that useful? This, by no means, endorses any type of censorship or intervention on the Internet or it's users; a box of 9mm and a list of names would take care of that...
YouTube has become the epitome of my point. Read most any comment to 98% of the videos posted there, they are all complete garbage. Here's some examples of the quality:
I feel dumber for having typed this.Heres a tip.it only works on homosexuals

Get the boat pointing in any one direction and you can have everyone rowing that way in no time, just don't tell them they are rowing into the reef. :-\
Next Point: Do I dare spout off on this year's presidential campaign? Are you ready for that?
