why do we?
We all are reluctant to shed our masks and protective armor, and prefer to hide that little spark that materializes in form of a journal. We reserve our judgments, and in doing so finally forget to make any. We behave so politely, that we lose our curiosity, our wonderment, our ability to question.
The blog allows us to be utterly political, fanatic and tasteless. We don’t have to care, and at last there is an avenue to express anger, elation and ennui. At the same time.

I'll have to send you a couple of links of posts I read yesterday about how all this political stuff is mining minds, friendships, egos and so on.

True, but in my case, my journal is one and the same with my personality, and I could never be comfortable with aggression. That's not to say I never rant, but even that has limitations. I can rant till the cows come home, and rarely ever challenge.
