Currently, there are 6.72 billion people on earth. Imagine if every single one of them had a blog – that would be serious information overload! According to Technorati, there are over 112.8 million blogs (not including China’s 72.82 million blogs) and it’s growing at an incredible rate. I remember just a few years ago, there were only 70 million blogs and experts were saying the bubble was about to burst and that blogging would become less popular. They were wrong.
Imagine if everyone on Earth quit their jobs to earn a living blogging – what kind of world would it be? One of the major issues is less people are producing goods and instead producing services or reselling products via third party affiliates – helping to create a small number of massive corporations which are apparently not allowed to fail. We are headed for a service based economy creating an experience for customers rather than actually producing a tangible product – with massive governmental intervention and gobalization
Blogging has changed quite a lot since I started two years ago, especially the types of new bloggers. Since being on Twitter – and I have barely put any effort into it – I’ve noticed a gargantuan horde of life coaches, business coaches, inspirational trainers and millions of other variations handing out advice. They will teach you how to pee, how to live, how to breathe, how to make millions, how to tie your shoes and so forth – and expect to be paid for it.
How much advice can I take? How many freaking blog tips do I need? Between 24 hour news, new papers, magazines, 112.8 million blogs, one million and growing Twitter users, endless biased political opinion and everything else, my brain has told me enough is enough. When I see a green pea blogging newbie start 35 marketing, make money online and SEO blogs during their first two weeks – I think OMFG…please, not another!
If you’ve been blogging for one month, you have probably heard about or seen almost everything already. I no longer write or read articles titled:
- 50,000 Killer Blogging Tips
- How to Brand Yourself (I have a branding iron…come here and I’ll brand you)
- 9000 SEO Tips You Cannot Live Without
- 23,714 Ways To Make Money On Line
- How To Make Money With Adsense
- 5000 Affiliates You Need To know About
- A Trillion Twitter Tips To Abundace and Wealth
- And Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah
If you write an article called 35 Awesome Social Networking Sites – hello, there are already 200 million articles just like it. You cannot write an original article with titles like the above, there are hundreds of millions already written. I find it amazing that many bloggers make a killing writing the same rehashed, over saturated material over and over and over. Well, that’s how it is! That’s why I write a variety of information and a lot of fiction. At least fiction is original, even if it sucks. I’m not saying don’t blog, I’m saying be original and create something needed and original if your aim is to have a career blogging. I personally bog for fun only.
To get back to the original discussion, what if everyone on earth had a blog? It is insanity to contemplate. If six billion people have careers teaching other people how to be successful, how can society exist? I wish more people would actually try to produce a product, or invent something rather than being part of that maddening horde of Internet coaches. I don’t need or want a coach, especially six billion of them. I don’t need more blogging lessons either.
I’m happy to just have a close group of good friends – which will always be the best aspect of blogging to me.
The way things are headed in America with all the bail outs, the nationalization of banks and so on, we are headed towards a new world of massive governmental intervention. Enjoy your Internet freedom now because governmental filtering and regulation is coming. Eventually, the government will be forced to regulate the web and no more free ride for everyone. It will take a decade or more. If America eliminates Net Neutrality, the rest of the world will too. Just look at how many countries followed suit in financial bail outs.
Eventually, there will be a one world government. It will be under the familiar idea of one world, one people. When the idea is pushed by the media (I predict within 20 years), those in opposition will be considered hate mongers and be dismissed by the majority who want it.
I heard Donald Trump in a recent interview predict America would eventually have one bank – a government bank for everyone. Things are changing quickly and it is scary to me. I am for individualism and individual liberties. I oppose socialism and massive overpowered government. Basically, I’m a capitalistic anarchist who opposes war.
- What say you?
- Do you favor or oppose a one world government?
- Do you think a one world government will eventually happen?
- Will blogging help make a one world government possible or maybe prevent it?
Imagine the entire world with one bank, one army and one center of power. In my opinion, it is coming and it will be here sooner than we could possibly imagine. I personally hope it never happens. There is a definite correlation between globalization, blogging and the tyranny of the majority. Libertarians like me who oppose overpowered government are definitely the minority – at least for now. Since so many people are so easily manipulated, dazzled with governmental handouts and herded like sheep, it will be an increasingly monumental task to fight the machine.

I’m still looking for the people on Twitter that will teach me how to pee. Seriously, though, I think if we’d put our effort into telling the govt. that we oppose all these bailouts instead of blogging about it, they might be forced to listen. Also-we need to STOP working for and doing business @ these places that think first of CEO’s and nothing of the employees.

Hi Madison! My 12 step tutorial on how to pee will be finished shortly.
Yes, I agree people need to actually talk to their senators, representatives, governors, mayors and so forth on a regular basis. I think America is coming to the point where they don’t listen even if the people speak out. People just want to elect a president every four years and be done with politics. Thanks so much for reading and it’s nice to meet you!

Hi Bobby,
I think you are probably correct with most of your predictions. Yes it is a very scary thought. I cannot see into the future and I am glad that I can’t. But I have faith that people will adapt. You know me the ever positive optimist.
What is scary to you and me will be normal for our great grandchildren and our current society will seem archaic. They will not know the freedoms that they are missing.
I agree about talking rather than blogging. But, I also think that at this point and time you could talk to them until your blue in the face. The ball has already started rolling and I don’t see anyway to stop it.
Progress comes whether it be good or bad. And to many people this will seem as a progressive movement. Sadly, those of us clinging to the old way will merely be old people whose opinion will no longer be of any concern to anyone.
As to the blogs you write about, the how to blogs with a gazillion ads running on them, they drive me nuts and I completely ignore them. I just wish more people would ignore them and maybe they would go away.
I could go on and on also. but, I will end here and simply wish you a great day.:-)

Hi Jackie! It’s been said many times that all free societies will eventually vote themselves out of freedom. I really don’t know if the new world global society will be bad or good, and my opinion has little influence.
I say live for today and enjoy our freedoms. The Internet is such a great tool and I hope it remains open to all for a low price! You’re right, the ball is rolling and it seems that it cannot be stopped.
Aw come on, go on and on…lol!!! Thanks so much and have a wonderful day yourself!

Hi Bobby,
Great, great post! I’m with you with regard to our government. It scares me. The way things are changing and in the direction it could be going. Ya know, My father predicted one world government(communism) about 15 years ago and used to talk about how our liberties would fade away. um, makes me think back to all he told me.It blows me away and I certainly don’t want that life for me or my neice when she gets older.
PS: I started blogging about 2 yrs ago also and like you, I’ve noticed a change. Is it due to the change in our country? Everyone is looking for a better way or advice…wish I could quit my day job and blog all day long…maybe make my first million! ;0)

Well hello Andrea! I don’t think it will be communism, but a communitarian socialist world government. One world, one people under one government. Like Jackie said in the above comment, future people will not think of freedom the same way we do. Our government is trying to get all of us used to the idea of bigger government and forced equality. I believe in equality too, but not at the expense of liberty.
Most of the newer advice blogs are terrible! It can be difficult to find good ones like yours:) I hope you can make a million. Thanks!

Oh Bobby…you are too kind.
Ok, maybe not as far as communism, but government as the single authoritarian party which will control certain freedoms seems to be on it’s way. and, it’s scary to think about.
Who knows what’s next…
um, I doubt my first million will come from blogging!

Well Andrea, it seems that the American people want this type of government. The truth is, it doesn’t matter if a democrat or republican is president as they are both much more similar than different. The bigger the government the less free we will be.
I hope you make a million somehow! I hope to have my books published in the future and I hope I sell 50 billion copies…LOL!

„When I see a green pea blogging newbie start 35 marketing, make money online and SEO blogs during their first two weeks – I think OMFG…please, not another!“
LOL, this is exactly what I think
There are so many newbies out there spreading false informations and ancient SEO myths (where common sense alone would suffice to show that they are wrong). Seems they all want to get really rich on the internet: Make money by blogging about blogging.
I really prefer those blogs that have some original content and a story to tell. Remarkably, the real world is almost never a topic on money blogs, it’s all 100% virtual. Nobody writes about the last trip with his yacht to the Bermuda Islands, …

Hi York! I think most new bloggers “follow the leader” and just write ineffectual renditions of rehashed old material they’ve absorbed by reading too many MMO/SEO blogs. Why bother with seo if you haven’t even built a small reader base yet? It makes no sense.
I guess all those Bermuda Island vacationer bloggers got swallowed up by the Bermuda triangle…LOL!

Bobby, you’re psychic too! I was thinking about something similar a while ago when I was doing some research for a paper I have to do on the Romantic poets. If you ever studied the history of any country’s literature, you would’ve noticed how every age can be broadly categorized as either individual-based or society-based. And whats more scary than interesting is that when I look at contemporary lit, I see individualism slowly decaying. Guess whats behind the door marked the next age? :\
But much of what you have to say is based on your experiences of life in America. While most of the world, including my own country, is trying to play clones with America, this will probably have changed in say half a century. USA reeks of power so all us docile lambs bleat to its tunes but not all of them sheep are content with playing domestic for long, right? Either way, the fact remains that life in a non-North American country is wildly different from that in a N. American one… So what I’m getting at is that while the concept of one world government, blog-deluges etc. is waaayyy more frightening than your horror fic (
) it’s still something a long way off, enough to make it hard to visualize (but not enough to send shivers down my spine).
On another note, blogs for all would translate to a sort of skewed equality, and who knows, maybe some sort of one-world promoting, neo-communism powered government will use that to headline its campaign some decades from now..? Weird, huh?!
Hope that by that time, super blogauthor Bobby Revell will fly down to India for a book signing tour. At least something to look forward to in my old-age

Hello Miss BoyJ! It amazes me at how other countries follow America so closely. For example, I have friends in Canada who know the American political system better than the people who live here. On the other hand, 99% of all Americans have no idea who the leaders in Canada are nor do they care. Most Americans know absolutely nothing about political leaders in other countries. It makes me wonder how or why that is.
America will soon become socialistic with much less emphasis on individualism – the very thing that originally made this country so great and influential. But that’s what the people want. It makes me sick to know where we are headed.
I would love to visit India! I’ve always wanted to go there and have read much about it. I have a few good friends from there including you of course! When you are old, I will be ancient. Just kidding, I turn 16 next December!

Hey Bobby! Came out of my “cave”.
Do you favor or oppose a one world government?
Totally oppose. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I simply cannot fathom placing so much in the hands of a few. While I envision more globally specific bodies one that “governs” everybody and thing is not on that list.
Do you think a one world government will eventually happen?
No. Mostly because I cannot envision one world population that can agree on mostly everything in order to make it happen.
Will blogging help make a one world government possible or maybe prevent it?
Neither. Blogging has given a “voice” to millions who otherwise might not have it. As you aptly point out though, there’s a whole lot with nothing to say.
What I can envision however is that blogging, actually the internet in general, becoming very regulated… governed. Things like licenses, permits, publishing fees, etc. Anytime there’s a way to make money you can be sure there will be those who want to make it and/or get a piece of it.
How long do you suppose before there’s a “tax” on every internet transaction? How long before you have to purchase a “license” to publish pages? I think things like these will come to be sooner rather than later.
One World Government? First we have to figure out how to “get along” as One World.

Hi Dave! I’m glad to see you have come out of hibernation!
I believe blogging itself has a potent indirect effect on the way crowds horde together behind ideas. Just look at how Obama used the Internet and the fervent supporters lose their minds every time he speaks. He’s become like a rockstar, and was elected based on superficial things like soaring rhetoric and a winning smile. It’s great a black man was elected, but the way people swoon over him is shocking to me. The way he affected the world’s view was also surprising.
Long before the possibility of a one world government, there will be a consolidation of world unions and banks. I am weary of government intervention and the way America is heading. The whole idea of people coming together through government is scary and it seems that Americans want it.
I agree that taxation will come to the web and the only way to do it is to have the government regulate and delegate responsibilities to selected corporations. I could be wrong about everything! The phrase “transcending partisanship” is just code for “get used to a bigger more powerful big brother.”

“…dismissed by the majority who want it.”
Often that “majority” is nothing more than a vocal minority. And, if that vocal minority works in the media, it just seems more like a majority than it really is.
“According to Technorati, there are over 112.8 million blogs (not including China’s 72.82 million blogs) and it’s growing at an incredible rate. I remember just a few years ago, there were only 70 million blogs and experts were saying the bubble was about to burst and that blogging would become less popular. They were wrong.”
The thing is, though, how many of those blogs are active blogs? I know a number of bloggers who started blogging around the same time I did, but their blogs are now, for all intents and purposes, dead. They might still be online and listed in directories and search engines, but they are essentially dead blogs.
I have a few of my own blogs that are mostly dead. So, when somebody says there are 112.8 million blogs, what percentage of those are dead blogs? A lot of people start blogs but give up after 3-6 months. Some of those people will have started multiple blogs.
So, when statistics say that the number of blogs are growing, how accurate do we know that to be? Maybe there are 112.8 million blogs online right now, but, of those, how many are active and how many are dead? It could very well be that the number of dying blogs is outpacing the number of new blogs, but if all blogs are counted, how would we know?
I wonder if Technorati (or anybody) has any statistics on the number of blogs updated daily, the number updated weekly, the number updated monthly, or the number updated at more irregular intervals, or not updated at all.

Hi Dan! Not all blog are active, that’s for sure – but it is growing. Of course, none of this includes all the Myspace, Facebook, youtube and millions of other feverish Internet users – I should have said something about all of that. The whole of Internet users is staggering, and while not everyone has a blog, most do have web access and still get caught up in the freaky mob of political movements among many other social ideologies.
Just think about all the ways people put up content besides blogging, it is amazing. Bloggers tend to be large consumers of Internet content and we are a major part of the web itself.
Is that the same vocal minority that voted in Obama? I think it probably is. I think many people simply voted “against Bush” and not necessarily for Obama – and I don’t blame them. People may feel different 4 years from now. I just found it powerful how the world embraced him – holding up their bic lighters as if in a rock concert – the mania of Obama fever is undeniable and his use of the Internet had much to do with it.
Nonetheless, the web and bloggers do have an effect on the world.

I don’t want to get all going on a relgious/political rant here but the only way I see a one-world government ruling the world is if God is real. Because if he is and is everything we think him to be then only a perfect presence like his could rule the world successfully. I don’t see that many countries would go for the one government thing, unless THEY are the one doing the governing. I just can’t see it happening. But I could be wrong.
Besides, wouldn’t we have to start with one language in order for that to happen? I’ve heard Chinese is an extremely difficult language to learn.

Hi Bobby,
Now, I’m not saying you don’t have a point, but let’s look at why bell bottoms are back (in some parts of an otherwise rational world).
It’s the kids! they’re ruining the world for us old folks! Don’t you see? To you, it’s the 200th time you have seen “200 Ways to Make 200 Dollars in Your Pajamas”. To the kids, most of whom are STILL in their jammies, this is “fresh!” It’s new and exciting!
And the cycle continues unabated. P.T. Barnumville for the digial millennium.
We need Teachers.
We need Teachers who will prepare the children for a world of hucksterism, voyeurism and easy credit.
So that, when they get out there, the kids won’t get suckered by the first con artist who comes along.
How does that get accomplished? Not by government mandated SOL, which simply leave most kids SOL.
Not by creating exclusive private schools, which simply alienates too many kids.
Nope. I say we homeschool ‘em all.
Put the onus on us, the parents.
After all, it’s our world, and we can’t have those rapscallions mucking it up!
Anybody seen my Dean Martin LPs?
Cheers,
Mitch

@Teeni: What if the citizens of all inclusive countries were promised healthcare, food, employment and many other governmental gifts? Hahaha…I dunno, maybe it sounds ridiculous, but it seems many Americans love the idea of socialism – no pure socialism, but some mixed in with capitalism. People seem to love the idea of government owning banks and so forth too. Who knows what will happen. I hope I’m wrong about everything. I will not let it affect my happiness though!
@Mitch: What? Hahaha! You’re right. When a new Internet user reads his first “1000 Killer Blogging Tips” it is new to them. I could run a successful SEO or blogging tips site right now, but I cannot bring myself to do it. Even the biggest blogs know they are rehashing the same content over and over. I could pick five famous blogs and vaguely plagiarize their combined content on a dozen blogs of my own. I would rewrite the info in such a way it would appear absolutely original. I just can’t bring myself to do it. Why? When it comes to writing, music or any art, I cannot sell out. Money simply means little to me and always has. Sometimes I wish I didn’t feel that way. Yes, I have your Dean Martin LPs in my garage sale coming up this weekend!

I realize that most scoff at the thought that the scriptures outline of end times could be true. It looks as if the entire story is closing in on the end to me.
There is a reason everything is digital now .. even out televisions. Everything we write, purchase, watch, etc. is gathered and will be used in the coming massive global government. Massive upheaval in the world will be the catalist for restrainment. They will claim to be protecting us.
Soon will come a day, when writing something anti goverment will warrent censorship. Talk radio will be held at bay by requiring equal time for both sides of an issue forced to be told.
For now, I am in the blog for fun stage too, I always have been in that group. While I love the internet, I also see its awesome power, one that will be used for control.
Jumping to a new subject … I find that the new SPLOGS popping up everywhere to be quite annoying. When I started, places like My BLog Log were super for connecting with others. I found YOU there! Now, I think most are just trying to get me to click their pay per links. arrrrgggg
I read a post about how to increase page rank and google search validity … they were a page rank 0. Does no one check these people out? Ha haaaa!!!!!!!

Are you a paranoid conspiracy theorist Eric? LOL! I sometimes feel like one. I really don’t know what’s coming. I guess, like many people, I just don’t like the idea of globalization. America is so overstretched in policing the world and I fear our sovereignty is slipping away. We will have to wait and see. I read on Obama’s site that he fully supports Net Neutrality and is dedicated to preserving Internet openness – that is one thing I agree with him on. McCain on the other hand wanted more governmental Internet regulation which surprised me when I read that. Who knows, all I can do is live my life for today.
MyBlogLog was so much better a few years ago, and it is still worth joining. I just ignore the endless sea of marketers. Good friends are the best reason to blog for me and if I did have a marketing blog, it would remain 100% separate from this one. I used to feel so much differently about it.

Hello and good day,Bobby…here goes another attempt to leave comment,and this time no fancy ‘sending’ via cellphone gimmicks from me,lol
Such a refreshing post here.I am sure that when newbie bloggers begin their journeys,they try to justify all the isp costs involved by trying to earn some money while blogging.In some countries,the isp costs can be steep,and to be successful online they need quick connections…no limping tortoises allowed!!Hence all the weird things they are willing to try to earn that money.Been there,still broke,lol.
A world government is a scary thing.Imagine all the mess-ups they will make on a playing field that huge!Still,when it comes very few people will oppose it..because of the gradual use of advertising,the media etc,our little minds will become accustomed to the idea long before it actually happens.This sort of mind control is sickening,but it happens every day all over the world.The mere fact that when males see a blond with long hair behind t he wheel of a fancy car,they immediatly deem it ‘totally hot’!! Why??? Because advertising has programmed their minds…every single mind,me thinks…and people just accept it,because its so gradual

Hi Jesse!!! I used to think I could make good money blogging with a multi subject blog like mine, but I see now that you must have a singular niche to succeed – and stick with that one subject.
You’re right, people will gradually get more used to the idea of the global economy and even if it’s not one government, it will be a coalition of governments working in unison for the greater good of humanity. I could be wrong and it maybe a good thing. I’m just trying to figure out something: What if the difference between billions of people agreeing and mind control? LOL! I think they are the same thing.
The whole “that’s hot” attitude is disturbing to me. I’ll take a sweet poor girl over a rich blond any day…hahaha! I prefer real people! Have a beautiful day too Jesse and it’s so wonderful to see you here!

Soaring rhetoric to say the least. He delivered what people wanted to hear in the way they wanted to hear it… electronically.
What’s most frightening to me is that the same people who elected him re-elected 95% of the congressional incumbents and every single Democratic incumbent Senator.
Where’s the change?
It is the Senate and Congress who ultimately craft the policies and laws that shape the country. Do people truly believe that one man can change what they do?
Hmmmmmm… people coming together through government. It seems to me that people are saying we are unable and unwilling to manage their own affairs… do it for me. What are all the young people going to say when all the work and effort they put into becoming who and what they are starts being taken from them to support all those who “don’t wanna”?
President elect Obama very interesting said during the his speec on election day…
“The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America—I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you—we as a people will get there.”
May not “get there” in 4 years? Back pedalling on the night he was elected? The last thing I want to hear is “failure” being built into the Presidency before it even starts.

Hi Dave! There is no denying Obama is an incredible speaker, has a powerful effect on crowds and is loved by his supporters. Hell, I like the guy too.
But you know my position – I want an America based on individualism and the constitution, not one based on bank nationalization and adding socialism into the mix. I really cannot criticize Obama yet. I give him a 100% approval rating, and will deduct points every time he does something I don’t like…hahaha!
Currently, Bush is a -62% approval in my book. Is it possible that anyone could be worse than Bush? We shall see. Obama will be scrutinized even more than Bush. Jeez I pray he runs a centrist presidency and avoids the far left fringe. If he can do that, I will like him more.
Why do we even need a president? Why can’t we just have a group of representatives instead? After all, the people are the real leaders – or are supposed to be.
I’m trying to stay positive! I made an oath to not get all freaking mad & upset about politics this year…LOL!!!!

Can your life coaches teach me how to stop peeing when I laugh?
Speaking of Blogging Overload, I joined Twitter and thought I sent you a test message in the “What are you doing?” text message area. I have a feeling my message was updated only on my Twitter page @ http://twitter.com/moneypenny008
How do I send a message to your Twitter Page?
Back to the Government: Unfortunately, it seems Americans want a One World Government when they voted for Barack. The man has not come into power and he wants to require mandatory community service and there is internet chatter that some blogs have been the victim of the fair use doctrine for speaking against Obama’s policies. If true, Net Neutrality may be Obama’s next victim.
Every American who cherishes individual liberties should be deeply concerned about the next four years. Unfortunately, if Joe ‘Six Packs’ Biden gets his intoxicated wish of a generated international crisis than Super “O”bama may have a third war to deal with.
Pax Americana resembles Pax Romana as noted by the British King Calgacus who said,
‘Atque ubi colitudinum faciunt pacem apellant.’ which is translated as “They create desolation, and call it peace”
Many people also thought the end of the world was near almost 2,000 years when the Roman Empire was at the peak of her Glory in killing people to extend the Roman Empire over the known western world. Sadly, history recounts people forgetting the bloodshed of the past only to be swept up by it again in the present and the future.
I pray that the blood of our fathers who fought and died for our freedoms was not in vain.

Hi Debbie! Thanks for the twitfollow and I have reciprocated!
I will refrain from criticizing Obama until he actually gets in office and does something. I will say this though, no matter what he does and what happens, the real person to blame is George W. Bush and his criminal administration – who have done more damage to this country than any single president in history. The Patriot Act, The Military Tribunals Act and many others have destroyed civil liberties. Don’t get me wrong, I am worried about a liberal president and I hope he is a centrist. We will know soon enough!
After big government Bush, we need a 75% reduction in government and a concentration on defense and tax reduction across the board – but instead we get liberalism, more big government and more entitlement spending. I blame Bush for our problems and it is his fault if Obama takes us in the wrong direction.
Like the Iraq war. We lose 3000 citizens on 9-11, so to even the score, we kill 97,000 civilians in Iraq – that is sickeningly mind boggling! If and when Obama makes a mistake, he will be brutally criticized by me, but I will wait until it happens first. He is the president, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
I am off politics currently…lol!

Excellent post Bobby. I think that some kind of more tight inter-national cooperation is definitively needed because if we look at the facts like global warming that is increasing like never before in the history and if we are aware of the fact that a lot of our energy supply coming from the fossil remains (oil) is limited and is about to finish sooner that we might expect – that implies that some serious action is needed.
More than ever a consensus is needed about the crucial issues important for the well being and survivor on this planet.
Unfortunately, a very few people listen to what scientists and physicists are saying; politician are a way behind all this important stuff.
What I am trying to say is that we should give some room finally to the science and reasoning, because if we not we might find ourselves in a big trouble.

Thanks J.C.! I am confident that a viable alternate fuel source will be perfected soon and a viable non-gas car also. It’s too bad the world waited until a crisis before trying to get serious about these issues.
In my opinion, humankind has less impact on global warming than most green ideologues believe. I also believe we will solve pollution and fuel problems before anything happens. There have been many ice ages and other massive climate shifts before humans existed, but International cooperation in these matters is a step in the right direction.
I believe the collapse of the biggest car manufacturers in America will in the long run be a good thing and propagate more research in new types of transportation. On the other hand, if mother nature wants to, she can destroy all civilization and no amount of human intervention can stop it.
If a massive super volcano erupts, it will pump more carbon dioxide in the air than a billion years of carbon fuel emissions; however, I am positive that humans will prevail – technology and science will fix most of these problems!

I guess it all depends. Yes, it can be scary thinking of everything be as “one”…but I think that is the natural progression of things as communication, travel and ease of connecting with the world improves.

Hi Bobby!
Although Super “O”bama has not been crown Emperor of Pax Romania err, I mean Pax Americana, it’s worth noting Barack has major plans to continue destroying our liberty. I agree with you that Bush superseded Jimmy Carter as the worst American President with all his U.N.American Acts as you correctly noted.
Another key point is, we the people have not used our Constitutional Rights to limit the power of elected officials. Our founding fathers never expected Americans to create career politicians who would make our Constitution Null and Void per se. The Acts of Bush you mentioned are technically illegal per our Constitution… unfortunately, powerful politicians seem to convince Americans their Acts are Constitutional.
This leads to the issue of “They create desolation, and call it peace” as noted in my previous comment. The western world appears to recycle the “War is Peace” mentality throughout the past 2,000 years. In the midst of the chaos created by governments, many people are led to believe the End of the World is near about every 1,000 years as noted by Roman Empire, The Crusades, and now, the One World Government.

@Susan: 100 years from now, everything we think or want will be so different, it will be a different world!
@Debbie: The truth is, it would probably require a violent revolution to return to the constitution as it was in the past. The entire idea of a president, congress or anything governmental becoming smaller or less powerful simply will not happen. Little by little America is becoming something new – very different than traditional constitutional beliefs and the all American family that propelled us into greatness.
I still think the American government is the most corrupted. Other governments may appear more corrupt, but we are just better of concealing it. Yeah career politicians, spineless chicken hawks and manipulating con men run this country – I cannot foresee anyway that will ever change.
Seeing the dismally minute amount of votes 3rd party candidates got, I can’t see a return to small government and free markets. Lets just enjoy the freedom we have because it’s not bad living in America no matter what anyone says. My life is if anything, better than before regardless of financial strain and other current problems.

Yes, that is the disturbing truth of human government. Unfortunately, the psychological warfare of governments create the cycles of “war is peace” and false freedom which cause violent revolutions and this cycle seems to repeat ad nauseam.
While we enjoy our what little freedoms we have left including the freedom of speech online(?), what will Bobby Paul Revere plan for your midnight ride when the Barack Redcoats are approaching???
Or, will Super “O”bama’s mind control seize your body, mind, and soul?

Well- I know my vintage blogs are just rehashed oldies, I mean I write about old SH**, but I write the blogs for me. I don’t chase after commenters or social network too much, it’s just not for me. I have a lot of hidden readers- most who do not blog. I get a lot of people who are just looking for funky retro stuff they used to have- not blogger types. It’s fun.
I don’t make a lot of money- I do paid postings on one blog once in a great while, but since I don’t care for it. I don’t do it much- and then I spend the money on my kids for McD’s or whatever… because extra spending cash is hard to come by.
As far as for tehe rest of the stuff- I hope I am dead before the “new world order” banking cartel gets here.

Just imagine if every blogger commented on every blog he read. We would all be reading comments and never have time to read a blog!

I’ve been thinking about this in some regards, in that with so many blogs, information is going to start getting repeated a lot and we will eventually run out of new content. I mean, how many unique articles can possibly be conceived? It has to run out at some point, or at least reach a plateau where we rarely ever see any truly new information.

@Debbie: I have no plans, but I do have several fishing poles and guns to live off the land…lol!
@Michelle: Your vintage blog is filled with fun and lots of little stories, making it a delight! Compared to other blogs containing vintage items, yours is a shining light!
@Euro: And then earth would explode as a laser beam from the Death Star immolated our planet…lol!

This will sound weird … but I would just like to spend one whole day walking around inside your head!
This made me grin in all kinds of weird ways, and I kind of hope my face freezes like this.

@Justin: Unique content is merely fantasy and ran out long ago; however, one can exhibit unique personality – that is the only originality we have!
@Anne: The whole day inside my head Anne? Haha…perhaps I should send you a ticket for the maddening flight! Thanks so much!

Hey Bobby,
I agree with your article. But I did get a good laugh at the end when I noticed the first couple of articles under your “Related Posts”:
lol, Looks like this is a conclusion you’ve come to over time
Keep havin FuN!

Hi Todd! It’s great to see you. Yeah, that is funny isn’t it. I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with seo/marketing articles, I just think most of them are all the same. I actually made sure the tags on this article listed those particular related posts as all of us do similar things.
I may even write more articles about seo, etc. in the future…lol!

I’m not sure how blogging would impact world politics for the better or worse.
I certainly can’t see my guitar blog influencing political thought (although I did offer free guitar lessons to the presidential candidates during the primaries via my blog – no takers tho’).
