I am not a writer, but when I read this article this morning and noted one of the Cross Left Bloggers was affirmed I thought you would all want to know.

Advocacy, Intellect, and Common Sense
by Jim Miles
Ramzy Baroud's current article [1] on the despair of writers and the role of the intellectual in presenting information has proven to be very thought provoking personally. I would not be doing what I am doing now without his support and conviction, yet as with the writer in the article, I have often wondered why do I keep doing this when nothing seems to change. Further, am I preaching only to the converted, or is there perhaps someone out there who has read the material and actually transformed their thinking because of that?
