At .::: [unsinnfälliges] I found the original article.
Robert C. Byrd also has some truths for Bush.

Extra 3 is on right now and Herta Deubler-Gmelin is a guest. I find this woman simply impressive. She has humor, she has intelligence and brings arguments. And to me, she stands for integrity and reason. Why do we have so few politicians of that kind? And why are the ones we do have pushed out because of stupid accusations? It's a shame, really.
Yes. We demand that the young generation become more political, take more interest in current events, and get involved, but when they do exactly that (and only say at the demos what many of us think too), we react like this: > A spokesman for the Bavarian Ministry of Education criticized the unexcused absence from class, but said that harsh sanctions such as reprimands should not be imposed. However, there should be pedagogical consequences, such as discussions in class or making up missed lessons. Saarland's Education Minister JĂĽrgen Schreier (CDU), on the other hand, demanded that the protesting students have the class absence entered in their report card as "unexcused absence." The cited education ministries certainly have a very strange idea of a more political youth. Are politically interested young people only supposed to be politically interested and engaged outside of school? It reminds me fatally of the button bans we had at school back then. Political expression of opinion has no place in the school building was the attitude of the school administration back then. An attitude that still seems strange to me today, especially considering that many church-affiliated schools have crosses hanging in classrooms ...

How can German politicians still argue that this is not a violation of international law? There was no attack by Iraq on the USA, the position of the UN Security Council was blatantly ignored, and American interests were massively placed above those of the UN. It is not even certain that the attacked Iraq actually possessed weapons of mass destruction that could at least approximately confirm the potential threat indicated by the USA (on the contrary, UN weapons inspectors assumed that the threat was far less than portrayed by the USA), and the USA never cooperated with the weapons inspectors at any point (and did not, for example, provide them with the allegedly existing evidence of weapons of mass destruction). The entire war is based on propaganda material and claims made by the Bush administration. And that is supposed to not be a violation of international law?

Viewing the little trick as a poem is one way to go about it. Though, to be honest, it was really more exciting back when Google was still indexing the page and search queries were directed to it, which then appeared as results solely because of the many search terms present there. That was a real feedback loop. At MEHRZWECKBEUTEL you can find the original article.
Well, this hype is getting on my nerves too, especially what makes it into traditional media sometimes. Too much focus on an allegedly new medium. But the decisive factor has always been the person expressing their opinion, not the form they choose for it.
Technology is just a tool here, nothing more. And a revolution is the virtual counterpart to the orange crate from which a lonely crusader preaches the end of the world—that's really not it.
But this slightly exaggerated form of self-importance also keeps popping up within the blogger scene itself, especially visible, for example, in an original blogger from the USA. Such colleagues seem to think they and their opinion are the best thing since sliced bread. Though I already find sliced bread pretty silly...
Sure, on the web it's easier to find a platform for expressing your opinion—but what's the point if someone writes something and no one reads it?
Sure, on the web it's easier to build networks and connections, to find things, to find people, to find opinions. But what's the point if you can find everything but no one is looking for it?
And even if people are looking for something, find someone, and read their statements—often it really just stays at the orange crate level.
Except of course for specialty blogs—that's a completely different topic. But the current media hype isn't interested in that—a shame really. There are already one or two small revolutions happening there.
Though I don't want to diminish orange crates: it's fun. And my orange crate is painted green. But it's not a media revolution.
Oh yeah. And a blog is not a diary. Just had to emphasize that again.
