Bare Fardels

Notice how blogs seem to be the ultimate rant medium? Try clicking a few hundred times on the "Next Blog" link and you'll realize how much everyone wants to complain (or post attempts at writing erotica/porn, but as always, that's another blog). I have a feeling that the blogs in Cyrillic concern someone blasting Putin-omics or bitching about the crappy service from the cashier at Perekrestok. There are the anti-Bush blogs, portraying W as everything from Alfred E. Neuman to the antichrist, the pro-Bush blogs, exalting Bush as the savior of all that is Good/God and liberals as Satan's henchpeople, the Walmart as American Strength group, the Walmart as Capitalist Hypocrisy in Action faction, those who decry the death of marriage and those who state they're saving it. Some complain that Americans are forced to be live in a nation "under God" while others cry we need more (Christian) religion in this country. There are complaints against datelessness, stupid people, bad manners, bad choices, bad people, and bad breath. I came across one in which a fourth-grader is calling her Algebra teacher a "cameltoe" because she couldn't get an extension on her test. I don't even think she knew what "cameltoe" means.
Philosophical question:
if I rant about ranting, does anyone care?
only if I blog it...
