888
That
is the number of hits my blog got (across a 90 day period) until I
was “fired”. It was a blog generally concerned with mental
health. Now it has been closed down. So where do the 888 people go
to share and follow ideas about the mental health community in
Manatee County? Where do 888 people go to share their opinions about
marijuana legalization and other topics of mental health? I can say
with confidence it is not NAMI.
Is
888 a significant number? Do the excluded people count? Or are the
people who removed the blog protecting their members from dangerous
thoughts. As somebody once quipped Freedom of the press is a
guaranteed right as long as you own the press. The users of blogs
are overwhelming people born after 1980. People running NAMI were
born before 1960. If bloggers wanted to make a wedge issue out of
age, it wouldn't be difficult.
