Written to JohnKerry.com:
Hi, my motivation in writing in was primarily to say how heartening it is (as a jaded young American) to see a politician stand up for what’s right with regards to the war. It seems that the majority of our leadership has been effectively cowed, giving up both their voice and better judgement on the issue.
A secondary reason for writing, is to hopefully get some informaiton on Kerry’s views and/or commitment to protecting civil liberties in these troubled times. Already we’ve seen the Patriot Act circumventing basic rights for dozens directly affecting American citizens being held illegally, and casting a dark pall on the political climate in numerous other areas. With DSEA-2003 (Patriot II) being proposed, and granting even more far-reaching powers circumventing our Constitution and Bill of Rights, the future is dim.
I have no illusions that, regardless of whatever reasoning for the incursion in Iraq, that it will result in a greater terrorist threat, and unfortunately, a corresponding threat to the very liberties that our leaders and militaries have onstensibly sworn to protect.
How strong is Kerry’s commitment on this issue?

Freshman in Florida State‘s First Year Writing Classes are being introduced to the net (and online writing) by keeping blogs (no one with a blogroll? –not that I should talk). Looks like Lessig and RMS were required reading, which is a good thing, even if some of ’em just didn’t get it.
#1 reason I should be blogging more, not less (or getting some more effective bookmarking): spending half an hour trying to find something I came across a few months ago (and failing)
