Another reason I cruise the blogs at random
I don't know the guy that runs Centerpoint from Adam, but his Blogger's Initiative is an interesting idea. I get the feeling this sort of thing is being done informally - there are threads about that address it and Warblogs.cc and No War Blog are more formal examples that coalesced around the war. And we have lots of Presidential candidate reporting … even I do some of it.
But I think a mission statement, and pursuing the mission, isn't a bad idea because:
We need to channel the outrage which currently fuels our rhetoric, away from mere editorials over our Government's conduct of the war, and absence of a coherent domestic policy. We cannot take solace in our own rhetoric, and go to bed with the smug knowledge that 'I said the right thing - and how'.
In the final analysis, politically proper posturing may get us accolades from devoted readers - but we need to spur them to action, rather than merely angling for their concurrence of thought.
