Power

For the longest time I found it impossible to come up with anything even remotely sensible to write for the class blog. Then I was struck by some ridiculous gossip about some celebrity being advertised on the yahoo homepage. More than just my normal 'who cares' it got me thinking about the power of words. Sure, we know that active verbs have more of an impact than passive ones. But, as we are all posting things in a public forum we also have a responsibility to our readers. Not just to write well, but realize the things we write will have an impact. It's up to us whether it will be positive one or a negative one.
