Absolute Truth
This is the absolute truth and there in lies the true glory
of this country, in my opinion. We are guaranteed by our Constitution the
right of free speech and it is a most wonderful thing. As a person who grew
up all over the world, what we have here is a beautiful thing. I am against
censorship as I feel it can be a symptom of very serious societal ills. I
think perhaps at present the pendulum has swung to one side but I think that
is better than what was transpiring in the country during the McCarthy era
when people's lives were ruined because of their opinions and words. As a
writer, I get nervous at the thought of censorship. I have often said that I
defend even Howard Stern's right to say the things he does or anyone else
for that matter because I do not want to have anyone tell me what I can or
can not write. Language and its use are a matter of taste but ultimately, I
can turn Howard Stern off (I don't mean to pick on the man, he is the most
readily available example I can think of at present) or not see what I
consider to be an objectionable movie. That is the beauty of our system,
this free speech right.
We are all free to express ourselves as we see fit. Of course, it would be
good if we tempered that freedom and are respectful in some circumstances.
For example, what I might say on a subject with adults would be a very
different thing around children. All of our opinions and words matter and
the freedom to express them, read them or ignore them rests entirely with
each of us. I think that is utterly marvelous!
Actually "True joke Clerk Stories" is a different animal for reasons that
you didn't mention. (If you only went to the first page than you really
can't know what it's like. This is a case of "don't judge a journal by
its title." You really can't compare TPCS to something if you haven't read
it, just like you can't say that you know what to "expect" to read from
author that you've never read.) Some doesn't have links to blogs, doesn't
have a comments feature, doesn't have pictures, and doesn't have "my pixel
person," "my weather," "my mood," etc buttons all over it. It really is just
a journal about her thoughts about working in retail, being a feminist
working in a video store that carries joke, working with crazy customers and
managers, etc. Reading HER work, I get the feeling that she's writing the
journal just to write it, and that she uses the internet as a tool to record
her journal. Reading other blogs I often get the feeling that the goal is to
indulge in 15 mins of fame, as shown by the name dropping, ring linking,
etc. That's fine and good, but I just want to be clear as to why TPCS is
different; it has nothing to do with the title and subject and everything to
do with the delivery.
I think that the writer probably does consider the audience. If the audience
doesn't like it, the audience doesn't have to read it. It's not like blogs
are required reading. You aren't being forced to read them for an English
class or something.
