    But I think the time of fast turn-around blogging with the use of a single news source as primary to support an obvious opinion is coming to an end. The reason for this is because too many people do it and the process doesn't offer much additional content to entice readers. This is a somewhat obvious opinion, yet there are piles of people who want to start blogs doing just this.

All those me-too blogs I think are symptomatic of result-orientation, as if content were merely a means to gain hits, as if the real interest was popularity, money. No, we are breathers and feelers and thinkers and makers damnit! We are looking to connect in the most basic sense with other people! We are looking to see our babies exist in the world. To find home.

Money is the root of all of this. Capitalism is bad for culture. Yeah, I said it!
