Hello Friends
I am not an author but during my teaching learning time I have experienced that how the statements given with fervor produce energy. When a teacher addressing his students talks about discipline, values, hard work with intensity it creates heat. There was a time when technically we were not much advance, there was almost no medium to convey your message, our political and religious leaders used to blog, but not in a way we are doing nowadays. They would do it in his general conversations and it would spread out and create waves and sometimes storms.
In India when Mahatma Gandhi entered in the freedom struggle. He gradually became the mass leader as the statements given by him made large number of people to follow him. His words "civil disobedience is civil breach of unmoral statutory enactments" convinced the people to break laws which were against the Indians. People followed his words with great conviction. It created a great fervor of 'Patriotism'. Finally the British had to leave India.
Many more social reformers of the world used general opinion (Blogs) a way to educate the people. Today the world we see today is a result of revolutions followed by the 'Blogs of Great Leaders'.
Storm surges are caused primarily by high winds pushing on the ocean's surface. The wind causes the water to pile up higher than the ordinary sea level. Same way when a statement is given by any person is of great interest, whether in favor or against, creates energy. We see the energy in form of comments.

In 2002, when many bloggers focused on comments by US. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott Senator Lott, at a party honoring U.S Senator Strom Thurmond , praised Senator Thurmond by suggesting that the United States would have been better off had Thurmond been elected president. Lott's critics saw these comments as a tacit approval of Racial segregation, a policy advocated by Thurmond. This view was reinforced by documents and recorded interviews dug up by bloggers. Blogging helped to create a political crisis that forced Lott to step down as majority leader.
Similarly, blogs were among the driving forces behind the' Rathergate scandal'. Dan Rather presented documents that conflicted with accepted accounts of President Bush's military service record. Bloggers declared the documents to be forgeries and presented evidence and arguments in support of that view. Consequently, CBS apologized for what it said were inadequate reporting techniques.
I mean to say that Blogs today has force to multiply the opinion so it should be used with much care.
