My problems...

We we're supposed to make a blog a long time ago and start posting about the things we've covered in class, sadly mine was locked by the website under suspicion that it was a spam-bot blog.

To get started on a few weeks of lost work:

I think it's important to write because it's such a timeless form of expressing opinions, especially now that we've entered the digital age. We know so much about the past because people we're smart enough to write it down. Writing something that's truly important to you is a way to make sure your words can last longer than you yourself can, in hopes that the words you speak can reach the ears of someone that needed to hear them when they needed to hear them.


As for the conservative party encouraging people to regurgitate information.

I think its ridiculous. I mean, telling your followers where you stand is one thing, but encouraging people to call into radio shows and say word-for-word what you wrote down is a bit controlling. Encourage people to have a more active roll in politics, doing something like this is just as passive as not voting, sort of. Just as progressive as not voting anyways.
