Blogging, the great enemy.

People have stopped me in the streets and come up to me in toy shops and breakfast nooks to ask me a simple question.  They ask "Why do you blog?"  The answer to that is undeniably simple.  I blog because I hate blogging.  It's my ultimate hope that my blogging will eventually lead people to realize that blogs are not a legitimate source of news.  They are opinion editorial pieces.  I would like to see more investigatory journalism.  Anyone can have an opinion.  Most people do.  Few people however will sneak into a chicken factory in the middle of the night to document how KFC employees mismanage the birds.  Wait that's a bad example, I find those videos entirely entertaining.  The point 70% of the population of this planet has internet access and can type up an opinion piece in a matter of minutes.  And we take them at their word.  For instance, did you even question my statistic?  It's pure bogus and you believed it.  It has become 55% easier to invent statistics for use in blogs than it used to be, believe it.  So now that you understand that blogging is not a legitmate source of actual news, what can you do about?  I would challenge you to write your senator and other state representatives and urge them to pass the Dulcimer-Bosen Act which mandates that all blogs will be federally monitored by a government task force.  It will be the task force's job to assign each blog a weekly rating based on the amount of opinion which is being passed off as news.  Eventually, if you get a high enough rating, the blog will be shutdown and all referring links from every page on the internet will be erased and the domain will be absorbed and owned by the federal government and you won't even be able to type the address into the browser as all broswers will be minute by minute updated with a current blacklist of domains that it will not allow to be typed into the address bar, thus erasing any and all evidence that it ever existed.  As you can see the Dulcimer-Bosen Act is exhaustingly comprehensive.  It will ensure that news style blogs will be steadily exterminated, making room for more accurate and authoritative investigatory journalism.  I can understand some trepidation about this new law, but the fact is that on any given day, worldwide, blogging alone consumes 45% of available bandwidth for the entire planet.  That is bandwidth that could otherwise be made to send email faster, update facebook with more status updates, faster twitters and a myriad of other things that are currently bogged down because of the bandwidth hog that is blogging.  If we stand together we can defeat blogging once and for all.  If we stand apart, we will be blown down by winds of blogging.
