It's somewhat of an egregious cliche for a blog to link to a story about blogging, or with just a passing reference to umm... bloggery, but here goes anyway:
"The Lights That Didn't Fail"
It's a fairly predictable patriotic July 4 piece (which in itself is fine by me every year or so...), but among the other sturdy American institutions, such as the military, cops/firefighters, and science/medicine, Peggy Noonan surprisingly lists blogging as a tribute to the greatness of the nation.
Cool, I guess, but like the Internet (and much else in the article), there isn't too much that distinguishes blogs as being "American." Then again, blogs and the whole phenomenon of journals on the 'net, wherever they originate, do indeed celebrate individuality and absolute freedom of personal expression, a characteristic cherished by all (or, sadly, most) of us in the U.S.A.
