This blog is designed to be a place where ordinary people who also happen to be bloggers can post about issues that are important to them, and be heard by wider audiences. If you write for your own blog or for a group blog, you are more than welcome to crosspost those essays here, but we ask that you use that opportunity to tell your readers “this entry is crossposted at the Independent Bloggers’ Alliance. You are also encouraged to post links to stories written by other contributors here. The fact is, the more we get in the practice of linking to each other, the better it is for all of us.
As far as ideology, I expect that we will be something of a mix of moderate to liberal viewpoints, not necessarily loyal to a particular party. Nobody is their best self all the time, but I expect us to make a genuine effort to treat each other with respect, even when we disagree.

The tattooed skinhead freak who shot a cop yesterday in Salt Lake City is offensive to me.
And the ongoing slaughter happening in Darfur while the world stands by with Eyes Wide Shut goes beyond offensive, and leaves me speechless.
But two guys kissing? Naw. Be serious, alright?
Too bad a narrow-minded swamp creature from New Jersey thought differently.
Newark school district apologizes for censoring gay kiss yearbook photo
NEWARK, NJ -- The Newark School District Monday said that it had made a mistake when it censored a photograph of a gay kiss in the 2007 yearbook at East Side High School.
In a statement the district said that Superintendent Marion A. Bolden has apologized to student Andre Jackson, 18, and would reissue an "un-redacted version'' of the yearbook to any student at the school who wants one.
"Superintendent Marion A. Bolden personally apologizes to Mr. Jackson and regrets and embarrassment and unwanted attention the matter has brought to him,'' according to the statement.
But the teen told a Newark news conference that he is not satisfied. At no point before issuing the press statement did Bolden or other school district officials speak to him Jackson told reporters and said he is "deeply hurt" by having had to learn of the apology through a press release.
Jesus, talk about turning this diseased pimple on his ass into a mountain, huh? Didn't we have this same dumb conversation about interracial relationships fifty years ago? Same game, just different pieces on the board. I can't wait for the lawsuits.
Anyway, maybe they got upset because it was the wrong guys.
Yeah, that's what tied their jockstraps in a knot. How about these two?Is that better, Mr. Bolden?
Is that better, Mr. Bolden?
