Is there any standard at all in the blog world? like maybe requiring one not contradicting oneself for at least 4 or 5 sentences?
Inspirations are hard to point to. But we pried some people from under one thumb, and now a lot more people are prying themselves out from under others. You point to the very young rebels being motivated by a revolt in 1960 (is that the right year?) I suggest it might be the AJ coverage of elections going on presently.
I still will stick with my side, even after actually reading Mr. Cole's quite unbiased take.
