Do you hear what I hear?

Those of you who are reading this blog right now are part of a giant cultural revolution. Since the advent of blogging, many everyday people, like you and I, have taken to writing their thoughts down in blogs - personal journals accessible via the internet. It is here where people can speak out and have their voices heard on issues that range from politics to literature to rants and raves. Others are able to listen to what others have to say and respond with their own ideas. It is a web of opinions that grows increasingly more intricate and diverse.

Blogs give the average person the power to speak out without taking action. In the past, people's ideas were either relegated to personal diaries, coversations amongst acquaintances, or manifested themselves into political activism. Blogs allow those same ideas to reach a wider audience in a public setting and allows for no identification or action to be taken to have your voice heard.

The gift of blogging has taken our society into a new age where ideas and opinions can and will be heard, whether it's an influential politician or the old lady who works at the corner store. So, take a moment today and every day to say what it is you must say. Tell the people what it is you want them to hear because, right now, I hear the people's voices.

    Once, I went to a blog and it played music. But I never hear voices. Anymore. I take my medication now. (don't you love how you posted something serious and inspiring and we all just fucked it up?)
