Post Over Readings

I was surprised to read that only 4% of the political blogs are written by women. Like the article said, the political spectrum when it comes to blogs is so narrow that abortion issues, women's issues and gay rights issues are not considered political.

I think that it's time to reevaluate what is considered political in the blogosphere because there are many great blogs written by women that would otherwise be considered political elsewhere but in the world of blogs.

If men where the first to lay down the foundation for what a political blog is, congratulations, but it's time that women get a say in what they consider political so that more people would listen to their opinions.

Another interesting aspect of blogs is the ability to use a blog against a person, especially in court. I believe that unless a person's life has been threatened (let's say a person were to say "tomorrow I will kill so-and-so"), or there is proof of child abuse, blogs should stay out of the court system. A blog is like a journal, something private and in the case of coming into someone's home and taking a diary or a journal they would need a warrant, why should a blog be an exception?

That pretty much sums up my opinions over the articles.
