Well said Aragorn1 - a blog or a diary is not held to any journalistic standard of integrity. It has no need to be factual and it typically is fiction. Some writers go to extrordinary lengths to twist the fictions to any extent to achieve their own goals and display theor own biases. Some objective gems may be found amongst the dross, but in general terms to quote and believe any of these blogs is to have us believe we are not in Kansas anymore.
PS - yes, I know I don't live in Kansas nor have I ever been there in my life [img]smile.gif[/img] .
