Bloggers Have Rights Too OK!

God given us the right to speak anyway!

What is the point of blogging when bloggers don't get to speak liberally and express their views? Where is our basic rights and freedoms that every humans should be guaranteed of -- the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression. That's what we want to know.

Web diarists (that's blogger to you!) are journalists. I've seen a number of prominent ones who have broken major news headlines from politics to even about fashion. Blogs are there for us to express our thoughts. Blogs are there for everyone to speak out and inspire us to raise our consciousness. Even if it's about someone's death! That could be news to us as well. Agreed? Yes, we may not be a professional writer in any way but whatever to professionalism, we still want our opinions to to be heard!

I'm glad I'm here! I'm glad I have a fair share of "followers" who agrees with me and waiting anxiously for updates. But the one thing I hate is, having to think before I speak and be mindful with what I'm going to post. That's not freedom at ALL! Why can't bloggers be real to ourselves and be real to people. Why can't we express our disappointments on certain things we think we should? Are we saying, free speech just don't exist?

I don't know about you but for me, when I look at freedom of speech, I see it as a natural right. Why shouldn't we be entitled to have our say in cyberspace that might help transform a fractured world?

Oh well........

The reason why I chose not to hide behind a masked name (and I'm not on their side who choose to publicly blog anonymously) while not hiding my opinions is because I don't want people to have the wrong perception about bloggers being a coward. I also believe that my message will be more effective if my identity is known to the world. Nothing is more ridiculous when a blogger gets punished (if they feel that they don't agree with the content) for the content of expression made on their space. Just so you know, bloggers aren't here to please everyone...

If you are a blogger just like myself, what do you have to say about this.

Should bloggers be given freedom of speech?
