Sometimes we miss the forest for the trees. Sometimes, when we are all patting ourselves on the back and feeling so self-important for having all of these social media toys, we forget what’s really important.
We take for granted the right to say whatever we want. We take for granted access to tools that give us a soapbox to reach the entire world with the click of a mouse.
So let me use my soapbox to ask you all to take some time out of your blogging schedules and think about the situation in Burma.
On the sidebar, about halfway down, I’ve added a widget created by Marshall at Read/WriteWeb. The feed is from
a blogger posting under the name Niknayman (who) appears to be the only one still posting from inside the country.
You can grab the feed here. Please consider putting it on your blog.
The news is obviously disturbing. But at least now, we have collectively the power to tell the world what is happening.
More comments on the situation in Burma from Jeremy Wagstaff and Pandagon. Some important links over at Crooks and Liars.
