What Blogging Means
Posted by wtdevflnt on February 24, 2012
This piece is an excerpt from a Gowron post about Chinese news. I like what he has to say, the ring of it and symmetry.
All Rise for words from
From the King
“However, a Forum IS a soap box silly. See, in ancient Rome and Greece, they used to have public arenas where orators would go up on a pedistal and blah blah blah. In ancient victorian times crates, such as “soap boxes” were used in public squares where orators would stand upon and blah blah blah. And ha ha get this, people can actually LEAVE the square. Nobody is making you read my “soap box” postings. This would be the antithesis to what I’m aiming to do here. I’ll leave that BS for the Reds. ha ha ha.
But anyways, this is a collection of clips I find just by doing a non biased, search. I type in “China +news” in the search bar, and all THESE crazy posts come up. Like is it my fault all the news in China is a gong show of evil madness? I just REPORT the news I don’t MAKE the news. I orginally intended this to record the economic news, somehow it expanded to accidents (which was related to economics (being cheap on the CHR train for example), then somehow it expanded the mandate to include dictatorships deaths and brutality. and now I just post what I find. I’m like this Foxy, a Whizzy Wig. (What you see is what you get), and I post on that.
I usually try to keep the captions Twitteresque, and snappy like a news editor does, however….. sometimes I just HAVE to post about my reactions to something painful and insane when people get REALLY hurt….
(I will reblog his full post later today)
