Bryan commits common sense ...

... Blogging: a Self-Important, Minority Pursuit. As charter members of the FIS, of course, Bryan and I have spared ourselves any sense of self-importance.

I think, by the way, that this is right on the money: "... wise rulers are not experts, quite the opposite in fact. The expert in power is a malign, utopian, technophile fantasy."

  1. Whatever else people may say about blogging (and I have observed that its critics are usually people who don't do it or haven't been able to sustain doing it), it keeps us off the streets doing something harmless.

  3. Yes, Maxine, most of those who criticize blogging and bloggers know little about either.

    "Keeping you off the streets" is an old expression, Andrew. Used metaphorically, in this context, to mean "out of trouble".
