"Perhaps it's time to move past the blog hype and to consider some method for differentiating personal diaries"
This is one of the primary reasons we made MinistryHome.org. In a nutshell, it's like mySpace for anti-narcissists. The point of joining the social network is to promote your ministry to other people and to explore what other people are doing to make the world a better place.
We specifically split profiles into personal vs. ministry so as to allow people to filter which content they want.
I'm not sure if niche sites like this will do enough to relieve your angst, though... perhaps something can be done through the likes of peopleaggregator or technorati. Maybe RSS/Atom could include a uniform "content topic" attribute.
When I contacted godaddy support last week about one of my domains not forwarding using safari, they said it was safari's fault and that I could clear the cache and it would work. I responded by saying that the cache clearing didn't work and that I thought they should be more concerned that such a large percentage of people weren't redirected properly. They ended the "support" thread by saying that I just need to clear the cache AND reboot... and since that should fix it, it wasn't really a problem.
I wish I would have kept the emails now seeing as this made slashdot. They were really quite amusing.
So, what's your point? That Al Qaeda is justified in killing civilians? Or is your point just that you're smarter than everyone else?
If your point is that we should expect our civilians to be killed because of our policy abroad, I don't think anyone would disagree with you. There will always be those who believe killing civilians is a proper method of dispute resolution. These people don't need to be listened to... they need to be stopped.
Lake Eola is a 9 square block area. It is a single path surrounding a large lake. There are a few benches along the path, a small deck with 4 or five rocking chairs, and an outdoor stage with rows of metal-wire seats (100-200) where homeless people can usually be found sleeping and congregating. There are a few grassy areas, a kids playground and a few sculptures dotting the landscape.
With that in mind, would you rather go to this park and either sit on a wire-seat with homeless people or on one of these benches with joggers and people feeding the pigeons and ducks in 90 degree(F) Orlando humidity without a power outlet or a table, or would you rather go to Stardust Video, a 5 min. drive from there, where they have a full espresso bar, a broad selection of beers, comfortable seating, your selection of popular and underground videos, occasional live music, and most importantly AIR CONDITIONING along with their free wifi??
I always went to Stardust.
So who cares that we are burning up all the oil? What else are we going to use it for? Once its gone, I'm sure there will be more of an incentive to find other energy sources.
