It’s the Little Things

by JHSEsq

Today’s author appre­ci­ates her pri­vacy. She won’t even tell us her name. We know two things. She is an attrac­tive woman (this pic­ture can­not lie) and she is a gifted writer. We were not sur­prised to read that she writes for a liv­ing. Now one might won­der why would she want to a write a blog for us, for free, when pro­fes­sion­ally she gets paid for it? All we can do is guess. Our guess it is all about free­dom. The blog is It’s the Lit­tle Things. And the post we are award­ing is about free­dom as well. Free­dom the author expe­ri­ences with her writ­ting because she is free from an edi­tor or pub­lisher (or worse adver­tis­ing peo­ple) for her blog with no name so as to be hassle-free with from strangers. The post is from Octo­ber 24, 2007 and is titled Free Speech, Slan­der, Libel and Just Plain Go Fuck Your­self. It expresses what free­dom of speech is and also what it isn’t, and addresses some plain “dumb shit” that she has been accused of by read­ers. She writes, “First of all, let me kindly point out that we shouldn’t miss the impor­tance of the free­dom of speech being guar­an­teed by our gov­ern­ment over two hun­dred years ago, and that it is included in the very first Amend­ment. That’s impor­tant, is it not?

Along with our gov­ern­ment given right to wor­ship who we wish, in whichever way we wish, we, as Amer­i­cans, along with our press, are guar­an­teed free­dom of speech. But what does this mean, exactly? Can we say any­thing we want? About any­body we want? Does it have to be true? What if it isn’t true?Well, we do have some cen­sor­ship, you must know…”
It is a must read. The Ris­ing Blog­ger is hon­ored to award PANH (place author’s name here…) our Post of the Day!

What a pleasure to know that my self-satisfying rant would actually lead me, and others, down the path toward blogger enlightenment!

I am honored at being chosen for a special nod on The Rising Blogger.

Thank you!

ITLT is a rare gem. Honest and genuine. Her blog can be both hilarious and mildly disconcerting due to her honesty. But interesting – always that. She deserves a gong.
