John, I’ll see you there.

This Blogging Conference is a great
happening, here and anywhere in the
free world. Summit is growing to be
a bad word. Who does and conduct
summits anyway? Crooked leaders in
furtherance of their self interest
have used this word, as world class
buzz word.
I think blogging should only be
governed very broadly by international
laws like the Geneva Convention in the
conduct of war. I think it is already
covered by the International Declaration
of Human Rights.
I believe no country should
enact any law defining blogging or
circumscribing ite exercise. There
are enough country laws like libel,
slander or whatever that provide adequate
protection against transgression
by individuals against another.
Any violence purportedly caused by
blogging , whether physical or verbal
should be distinguished as being between
individuals, and an individual against
a group of people or citizens of a
state.
Blogging may be examined in the context
of crimes like perjury, graft and
corruption, plunder, concubinage,
adultery, etc.
These crimes may be committed against a
person, or against all the citizens of
a nation as a whole. Blogging in defense
of, or against the perpetrators of these
crimes may be asked to answer before
the courts either as accused of libel, etc.
or as accomplices or accessories to these
crimes. With the application of existing laws.
I think this Blogging conference in Diliman helps enrich the exercise of democratic
rights. Let no demagogue or dictator or
Pavlov dogs manipulate this activity.
Hello Ellen. Thanks so much for the iBlog2 event plug and look forward in meeting you this April 18!
Defend free expression in cyberspace!
