Words of Wit made a suggestion that some of us repost some oldies to get the blogs out of their rut. I don't wanna miss a minimal effort shot at self-promo, particularly when I'm actually invited to do so. Here's an older one with a newer thought to keep in mind. This blog was actually intended to defend original writing in the blogs. It is not an invitation for more cut and paste. There is an apparently small faction in the blogging community here that prefers original thought and not simply the repost of someone else's. It is also a plea for bloggers to open their blogs for all comments. This same minority wishes to keep the blogs highly interactive as we find that part to be most entertaining and enlightening. Well to that end, here goes nothing...
These Words... Originally posted some time ago...
These words up here are mine...
These words up here have power. These words capture and captivate. They allow me, for a few brief moments, to stroll through your mind. I leave muddy footprints or a bouquet of flowers. I poke with a sharp stick or caress with utmost care. Either way I effect your grey matter, briefly at least.
These words can create passion, pleasure, anger, disgust, laughter, tears, spur memory, create trust and then destroy it, briefly at least. If these words are just right they can do all those things all at once.
These words are all about popularity, make no mistake. I want to walk through your mind. I want more friends and more enemies, there is no such thing as bad press. These words would be of ink on paper in a little book with a lock if I didn't want you to react in whatever way you are going to.
These words give complete insight to the reader if they are truly paying attention. These words completely mislead those who are easily confused. These words will not, must not be retracted, for there is no need regardless of their effect. These words stand on their own merits for I have written them, and that is their purpose.
Those words. Those words down below are your chance. To praise, vilify, laugh, cry, argue or agree. Those words are yours, for it would be rude to walk through your mind without giving you the opportunity to politely show me the door, or kick my ass through it.
Together these words up here and those words down there represent discourse. Without which, rights, humanity, love, hate, kindness and cruelty have no meaning.
These words are mine. Now if you please... Which way to the door?

Amen. Censorship is the tool of cowards & dictators. Great things come from a blend of ideas...... just as this great country came from a blend of people & cultures.

Pudge, your kudo count keeps going up with this one. Add one more.
These words can create passion, pleasure, anger, disgust, laughter, tears, spur memory, create trust and then destroy it, briefly at least. If these words are just right they can do all those things all at once. These are the reasons I read blogs, as well as write them. Thanks, Pudge.
Isn't it ironic W o W gave us a homework assignment just as school was starting back up?
