Save The Internet!

It's one thing for somebody my age and as jaded about life as i have become to break down and cry in frustration about the stranglehold that big business has on the media in the U.S.A.,
but it's quite another thing to see a young person with his whole life's aspirations ahead of him break down when addressing an issue that has very serious implications on our freedoms and personal expression.

i remember now, i upgraded to the latest version of wordpress i think somewhere last week.. maybe that is creating havoc with the commenting...

Prof., sent you an email... still locked out of your blog comments area.

hehehee, but, it's quite ok if we all use this space as a communication center until you get your new version of WordPress sorted, Prof.
this is the most action my blog has seen in a while... makes me feel like i'm still in touch with the important stuff in this world and with the folks i can actually connect with on a 'real' level...
