Thursday

If you're the "evil" twin, what do you call the other guy?

Go read Lileks.

As always, I'm impressed with the man's writing. I have the sense that he sees a similar problem with what I was talking about last night. Blogs v MSM. Wouldn't it be nice if we could play off each others' strengths, instead of mocking each other's weaknesses?

I've made the reference to blogging as warfare before. It's inherent in the bomb throwing. And bomb throwing will continue. But as most Bomberman afficionados will tell you, there's more than one kind of bomb. Anyone who's read Saberhagen's fantasy novels will probably tell you that there's more than one kind of sword to swing.

It just seems to me that while fighting for what's right is important, it's counterproductive to insult, snipe, and belittle the very people we want to persuade or include. Fight. But don't be hatin'.
