A BLOGGER'S UNION ???


A

re you tired of thinking for items to write about? Want medical coverage? How about 2 15 minute breaks? There are bloggers aka normal people, like me and you... are sitting around tables thinking this crap up. Are bloggers normal people like me and you?

Some argue for a free-standing association for activist bloggers while others suggest a guild open to any blogger — from knitting fans to video gamers — that could be created within established labor groups.

"The reason I like blogging is that it's very anarchistic. I can do whatever I want whenever I want, and oh my God, you're not going to tell me what to do," said Curt Hopkins, the founder of the Committee to Protect Bloggers.

With pages focused on everything from bird watching to celebrity footwear, more than 120,000 blogs are created every day and more than 58,000 new posts are made each hour, according to data from Technorati, which tracks more than 94 million blogs worldwide.

Actually, the more I think about it, and as one blogger recently put it: "Blogging is very intense — physically, mentally," she said. "You're constantly scanning for news. You're constantly trying to come up with information that you think will mobilize your readers. In the meantime, you're sitting at a computer and your ass is getting wider and your arm and neck and shoulder are wearing out because you're constantly using a mouse." I never thought about ass-widening as a medical condioner or as a bloger infirmity... I know one female blogger that writes her own excellent blog and visit here always comoplaining about her ass getting wider who would put in a claim. (and no it isn't honey, more to grab onto) lol

Amazing huh? And we are part of the mess. So.... yea or nay? Or is it a way to for us to shell out more money every month as "dues". I think the Not So Normal News will began unionless... who would I strike against? Myself?

Thanks, Denny
