Hmmmm... I haven't done an empirical search of blogger sites, but I imagine there are quite a few racist, sexist etc. bloggers out there. Just as other Internet technologies have been harnessed for all political purposes, blogging no doubt has been as well. I understand the empirical correlation between technology use and political likelihoods... but I have a hard time with technology stripped of content categorized as "progressive". The concept of "innovative" works better for me. Mary E.
