I would think it's best for people to get creative with verbalizing their dissastisfaction with the status quo.........why not? Free speech is protected in this country. We are free to read it, or not read it.
Similiar to pornography, smoking, over indulgence of food or alcohol; it is all up to us. I don't have time to read those blogs, but I'll bet they're less civilized than this place. You're probably right; it keeps them occupied and off the streets.......

Some people are REALLY angry about our war in Iraq.
We're still killing people over there and call it "nation building and democracy". Only it's supposed to be legal. Can't blame people for bitchin about the road this country's on though.

You ought to know by now that writing is often cathartic and a harmless act of self-expression........;~)
