Most bloggers are not anonymous. Not the popular ones at least. They're to narcissistic to allow for it.Dilbert_X wrote:

Kmar and Aussie hit the nail on the head.
I mean bloggers who are anonymous, if people don't put their name behind something then they don't have so much credibility.

Sure, but it's not applicable to this country. The only period of mass conformity we ever experienced was in the 50s. The rest of our history has been pretty much anything goes.Shahter wrote:

I think a more salient point is that most of the West nowadays spends very little time or effort in suppressing dissidents. For the most part, the West only suppresses violent dissidents.Shahter wrote:

Unfortunately, this is not as true of the world outside of the West. I'm not claiming we're perfect, but one of our better qualities involves our respect for individual freedoms -- including political freedoms.
