Writing: Fighting Injustice Armed only with a Keyboard

As I peruse this never ending novel of society as we know it, the Internet, I frequently come across entries written by people who are totally different, yet eerily similar to me. On occasion the entries they contribute attempt to explain the reasons for the very existence of those entries. And so we arrive at one more of those explanations for why I write.

I first learned my words had the ability to incite discussion when I was writing copy for TV ads. I’ll never forget the Mother’s Day morning years ago, while I was standing in the line for the champagne brunch buffet at the Hilton, I heard the people behind me discussing a television commercial I had written and produced. Two total strangers were discussing the message my words were meant to transmit. It was the first time it really occurred to me that people were communicating as a result of what I was writing.

Here's the long answer.

Fallwell's Death Article Funnier than a Carload of Clowns

I may go to hell for thinking this, but Jerry Fallwell doesn't even have to wait until he gets there before being roasted. Prolific Associated Content Content Producer thebarefoot (I think his name's funny) has written a brutally, almost honest report of the Reverend's long awaited passing. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/246359/jerry_falwell_dead_richard_dawkins.html

Even Jesus Christ is a Blogger

I've come across the greatest blog that I've seen in quite awhile and, excuse the expression, but by God I feel the need to share. It's a blog written by the son of God himself, Jesus H. Christ. In the blog that began in April, J.C. tells his readers of the trials and tribulations of his life and clears up a few misconceptions. He sounds like a pretty decent guy just trying to get through each day, not unlike the rest of us. Check it out.http://jesuschristscoolblog.blogspot.com/
