FREEDOM TO BLOG
Kids are doing it, moms are doing it, even grannies are doing it. IT is writing on their BLOGS. Some of it is narssasistic rubbish or poorly written if well intentioned. Still others are brilliantly written. There is a full range of topics, layouts, and motivations. For those of us who are fortunate to live in countries that do not interfere with our right to write our thoughts and opinions in an absolutely public and accessible forum for the entire world, I ask that you take a few moments and just be thankful. Be thankful for your good fortune of birth or situation or location that allows you to be where you are. Others are not so fortunate as we are. I draw your attention to

Thank-you for this reminder, to be grateful for the freedom.
And thanks for the interesting links to election and candidates.
Bella, thanks for stopping by. My Google Reader has about 50 subscriptions that include blogs that are keeping an eye on these issues. When I read them I just always am so thankful that I can speak my mind.

Very interesting post. Sometimes we tend to forget how important freedom is and we take it for granted.
Thanks for reminding us to be glad for our freedoms.
Yes, my Moroccan born son-in-law frequently renews my appreciation of the country I live in without overlooking all the flaws in it as well.
