Tocqueville on Blogging Freedom

Here is a post by Allison Hayward, from the Skeptics Eye, neatly putting bloggers into a context understood by Alexis De Tocqueville, witing in Democracy in America, from 180 years ago. Mindblowing how history repeats itslef, even when dealing with modern technology. Hopefully someone will bring this to the attention of the FEC next week.

Hard to believe a dead French guy could shed light on blogging and politics. (One of his points also seems to explain our nation's pathological love of celebrity watching.)
