Sneak preview… next week I’ll have 750 depressed and aging words at “Time Goes By.” Ronni has some work to do, so she has a few of us standing in for her.
Conversations are not markets. Now you take the curmudgeonly Richard Bennett. That opinionated fella gets more than his fair share of discussion around his belittlement of the concept of network neutrality, said belittlement based on a self-righteous right-wing world view that suggests that Ma Bell really does deserve a break. Puh-leeze. But for all his logical fallacies and impassioned personalization of the topic, he does add value simply by adding some friction to the oil on velvet tendency bloggers have to simply tell each other how groovy we are.
It’s in that spirit that I intend to challenge the assertions and unspoken assumptions of the grassroots identity movement. Unless of course I find nothing to challenge because it is all so clear, so perfectly in alignment with my vision and values that I just grab a couple of virtual pom-poms and start cheerleading. But, really, how likely is that?
(I just sent =dsearls a message from =Frank.Paynter via 2idi. I wonder if I’ll get a response.)
