Now, back to my rantings. We are living in a time where media and control of information are no longer the privilege commodities of selected few. This is a positive poltical and social evolution from draconian habitat. In the past, news and opinions can only be obtained from printed media, television, and radio, and there are practically no avenue for average people to voice their disagreements and alternative opinions in these controlled medias. However, the mass accessibility of Internet technology has altered this information delivery landscape. Information Technology savvy people, like bloggers, now has easy accessibility and capability to present their own observations and alternative perceptions of issues. Those privileged few who used to have the luxuries to control the free flow of information must now learn to accept these new political and social realities. Gone are the days where information can be negatively massaged, manipulated, and biasedly presented to stir misplaced angers and emotions, or solicit support of the masses to perpetuate the immoral sustainability of power for selected few.
The fact is, people are generally more educated and would like to receive information in a factual, truthful, and honest manner with alternative perspectives. Bloggers have, in one way or another, filled that vacuum. Majority of people resort to read blogs, not neccessarily accept the credibility of the contents of the blogs. But, they want varieties of information in a more truthful and less contaminated manners. So, if the mainstream medias are losing readerships, I guess it would be more appropriate for the mainstream medias to revamp their editorial policies and contents. Masking in indirect attacks to discredit bloggers are not going to bring back the readerships ! If the politicians are losing support from the people, they should relook into the way they conduct themselves. Blaming the bloggers for highlighting issues related to them are not going to sustain their popularity.
If a blogger disagreed with certain national policy, highlighting and criticize the policy does not necessarily means the blogger is unpatriotic or attempt to sabotage the implementation of the policy. The fact is, as citizens, we can be against many things, disagreed with many policies, or courageously criticize the government or politicians, but these actions are all mutually exclusive to individual noble intention of loyalty to the country. In fact, the rights to criticize and disagree should be jealously encouraged to create a culture of transparency, nobility, and excellence. Can a country progress and be a great nation, if all the citizens need permission from the "Dear and beloved" leaders to voice the opinions and disagreements or parroting the uniformed political propaganda in unison ? Sincerely, do we need guidelines from these misguided "Dear and Beloved leaders" when come to expressing ourselves ? I for one, is not that type of submissive pervert ! Are you ?
.
I am not deluded to think that, with blogging, I can say anything I want at anytime and in anywhere I like. But from my heart, I do sincerely believe, if anybody disagreed with or felt injured by my blog contents, by all means, please present your honest and truthful opinions and observations in the comment section to dispute my blog contents. I hate to subject myself in an atmosphere where I fear the risks and consequences of persecutions, harassments, fines, imprisonment, etc. for speaking out my perceptions against certain issues. If you used your temporary power to silence me because you don't like what you read, you are directly and dangerously curtailing the sacred freedom of expressions guaranteed by God. Think of the future consequences and impacts of your actions on the future wellbeing of your children and grandchildren. Would you want them to live in an environment of fears, no freedoms of expressions, and under emotional slavery ? The choice is yours ! Be responsible for your action Today !
To all the selected fews who has limited appreciation for freedom of expressions, my advise is, the world has changed and slowly progressed into a more transparent and open society. You can not turn back the clock now, and you definitely can not control and manipulate the free flow of information. Accept and embrace these new realities, conduct yourselves in a honest manners and be transparent in accepting criticisms and differing opinions. And, most important of all, respect human rights and have the decency of not trying to make life difficult for others in order to protect your own selfish interests.
I understand, political hooligans and elitists used to control what they want others to read, it is indeed scary for them to lose control of the dissemination of information ! But, let's face it, in the first place, these misguided souls have no bloody business to control the free flow of information. Discrediting the bloggers to protect their image and sustainability ? What does that make them ? A statesman ? A national leader ? a torch bearer of rights and morality ? Honestly, I would prefer you not be a pariah of your own ignorances and stupidities.....
