It’s all relative

Well, we can freely debate this; we’ve all got different tastes here, but let’s not try to be offensive, shall we? This is a democracy after all, we don’t need to shout each other down. I personally thought it was a lovely, uplifting event. One of the marvellous things about the blogosphere is that we no longer have the old elite around telling us what to think—all sorts of ideas can circulate. People talk about music, books, even politics—yes, I know politics isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but the personal is political, of course. But it’s the people’s opinions which count now, and it all gets posted: their personal problems; the books they’ve read, which they like, which they hate; they even write poetry—or stories, as we’ve seen here. It’s a real process of self-discovery.
