Keith Olbermann speaks

I read this wide-eyed with admiration for the thought and feeling that is written in it.

That is what I like about writing. That is what I like about blogging. People who think blogging is stupid just don't get the point. People are writing. They are writing out their ideas, and their days' highlights and lowlights, and their feelings, and their questions. Maybe some of it sounds ordinary and uninteresting and small, but it is important to whoever wrote it, and it helped them to process any number of things from confusion to musing to a whole range of emotions to just noting that the day was there and the writer had a place in it. Writing is always a good idea. No one will ever convince me otherwise.
