Backing into the blogosphere ... finally.


I love blogs ... about as much as I'd love a weekend spent watching a Best of Barney the Dinosaur marathon. Yes, those bloated and blusterous virtual forums of banality drive me to distress. I can't take another I'm-mad-as-hell-and-I'm-not-going-to-take-it-any-more rant from some hormone-addled freshman (Sorry Mark) or worse yet a look-at-my-obnoxiously-great-life post from some cloying-as-cotton-candy prepubescent.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!!

No! I'm going to do what any right-minded individual with an opinion, a computer and some spare time would do -- start a blog.

OK, a bit exaggerated, I admit. But I haven't been a fan of blogs. Why should I care what's on Joe Anybody's mind? I really haven't seen the point. But after witnessing the prominent role blogs have played in politics recently -- building up and tearing down politicians, disseminating lies or conversely dispelling myths, I've realized the power these instant editorials wield. I want in.

I've thought for several months about starting a blog, but it took a graduate school assignment to spur me to action. So here I am, creating a forum, which I hope will be beneficial and insightful. I see this blog as a nexus for ideas, a place where the seminal issues facing of the nation are freed from the circumscribed lens of the American media and put into their global context. In short, I hope it becomes a source for global information and perspective ... outWrite.
