I can’t believe I’m editing.
I can’t believe that I just apologized to the entire nation for a blog entry that wasn’t even in the blogosphere for two minutes before I pulled it out. It’s a cry and shame that here we are, in this day of “free speech,” that some of us bloggers are editing our entries for fear of international backlash.
Granted, I didn’t have to apologize. There’s just nothing in that entry that would make me do a Malu Fernandez. I didn’t even do anything wrong there. Yet the reason why I pulled out that entry at the very last minute is because of fear: I was afraid that some loony out there would demand that I “resign,” even if I’m conveniently unemployed. I was afraid that someone would start branding me names and make me part of the headlines. I can’t believe I even have to be afraid nowadays, even if I’m supposed to be protected by the Constitution, and even if I write through a very thinly-disguised pseudonym.
