On: Dan Gillmor Launches Grassroots Journalism

How long is the old media going to be able to continue to disparage blogs when giants like Gillmor are making the jump?

Criminals?

On: HS Students Steal SSNs to Prove They Can

Ah what the heck, why don't we just make everything a criminal act and then let the elites decide who goes to jail.

Embarass a public official? Go to jail

Heckle a politician? Get charged with "disorderly conduct. Everyone be orderly now...get in nice orderly lines to march off to...

Expose security flaw? Since it is much easier to criminalize the act than it is to fix it, let's send 'em to jail. Who do these kids think they are anyhow.

ARRRRRRggggghhh!!! Okay, some of you nihilists tell me what you are gonna put in place after we tear this system down and I'll jump on board. I'm a little tired of this kind of shit.

I read it, in it's entirety. Now go look up the definition of the psychological term "projection"

I guess I should be happy that you are no longer blindly cussing. Meds kicking in?

Re:Information Superhighway

On: Al Gore to Receive Internet Achievement Award

Maybe I should have been more specific:

Fact: 5 : a piece of information presented as having objective reality
- in fact : in truth

Objective:3 a : expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations

I don't think "The Daily Howler" qualifies as fact due to it's lack of objectivity.

Yer a hoot...

You were doing better being a potty mouth.

I quoted the man, all you have done thus far is spew foul language.

I welcome your fact-based reply.

Re:Information Superhighway

On: Al Gore to Receive Internet Achievement Award

I think it is telling that you chose to focus not on this guy's point, instead choosing to define "taking initiative" as "service...blah, blah, blah."

He was talking about the use of the word "Created" not "Initiative".

Amazing what lengths you guys will go to in revising history to save this pompous son of a Senator.
