Herb: Internet Gives Voice To People

The complaint of a Maryland Mayor, frustrated over the image portrayed by bloggers, is lashing out. At no time in our history, except perhaps villages in revolutionary times.has the person on the street had such a voice. Suddenly, from every corner, politicians are being held responsible for their words and actions because more citizens have access to them and this makes them uncomfortable. Folks, this is democracy in action. Because suddenly we have more people paying attention, and perhaps being more critical is freedom of speech at it’s finest hour. Anonymous critics, however, are a pox on our house/ Bayview Herb .

Question: Has the Internet and bloggers added to our freedom of speech? Or abused it?
