Note to Kevin Chong

There are some seasoned (and professional) writers using this new internet forum for citizen journalism because they feel impelled by the current state of social injustice to try to induce readers to consider that they may each make a difference; through reading these writers and learning to view the issues from an anti-establishment perspective they may make more sophisticated choices at the ballot box and more humane decisions in their communities.

The effort to enliven the collective moral conscience is hampered when columnists who can boast a 2-300,000 readership evidently just “write for money” or, as in the case of a lot of self-absorbed bloggers, to gratify their insatiable egos with endlessly bland reports of their properties or hobbies. Attention-hogging by sneer.meisters can only but have a deleterious effect on the overall social mosaic.


"I write for money."
