Here's what I've learned about blogging:
You talk or Somebody Else Talks.
It's that simple.
You talk about what's important to you, or somebody else talks about what's important to them.
You post or you don't.
You speak up, or you don't.
You say what you want to say, what you feel compelled to say, or you don't.
You make your voice and opinions the ones people read, or you don't.
But when you sit down and hold your tongue there are hundreds, thousands of other bloggers happy to speak up in your place. And guess what? 99.999% of the general readers don't even notice the difference between Liberal Blogger A and Liberal Blogger B.
Bloggers aren't missed. They're just speaking their mind, or they're letting others speak their mind.
