Are bloggers insane?
Dan Henninger, deputy editor of the WSJ editorial page, thinks most bloggers are insane:
At the risk of enabling, does the Internet mean that all the rest of us are being made unwitting participants in the personal and political life of, um, crazy people?Subtext: That untamed hoi polloi, those unwashed minds polluting the discourse, that rabble on the verge of violence -- they are at the ramparts! Isn't there some way to mow them down with grapeshot?

You'll know your perception is accurate as soon as the WSJ comes out in favor of renewed research and development of neutron bombs. The finest crowd-control weapon ever developed, perfect for suppression of domestic revolutions.

Remember this is from the WSJ editorial page - one of the most ridiculous and laughable propaganda forums going. Its ironic because the Journal's news coverage is first-rate.

I am reminded of J.G. Ballard's remark that if the powerful insist on involving us in their fantasies, they can hardly complain when we involve them in ours..
