Bloggish Enlightenment
Mike Campbell has described the internet news revolution as part of the "Bloggish Enlightenment". Belmont Club observes that for "good or ill, the genie is out of the bottle."
Before the Gutenberg printing press men knew the contents of the Bible solely through the prism of the professional clergy, who could alone afford the expensively hand copied books and who exclusively interpreted it. But when technology made books widely available, men could read the sacred texts for themselves and form their own opinions. And the world was never the same again.
And then... The InstaPundit's publishing schedule let him point to the same quote last night. Zut!
