Opening Act

Hey-

Welcome to 'TalkTalk', where we'll explore how one blog can save the world. We'll eventually turn this into a Podcast, just wading in here. The blogosphere has created a cacaphony where all are heard, but little rises above the din. Is politics the solution, or is politics the problem? Is blogging the solution, or is blogging the problem? If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem... In 'Working Class Hero', John Lennon said '...keep you doped with religion and sex and TV....'. We can probably add the 'net and blogging to that (I don't think John would mind). Still, the power is unavoidable, unmistakable. Howard Dean brought politics to the internet on a large-scale platform, Barack Obama capitalized on it and used the power to attain perhaps the most powerful office in the World. And he uses it still.... check out change.gov, for instance. If people get the kind of government they deserve, we must be better people than we were 6 or 8 years ago. So, to bloggers everywhere, whether you've got anything to contribute or are just adding to the din, Blog On!
