    Kos 2007

    July 19th, 2007 by elenamary

    Dear Bloggers,

    I know I haven’t been blogging.  I know my site looks like a rookie blogger page.   I haven’t been on the up in up in almost two years now when it comes to Blogtitlan.  But lord, I now remember why I disliked Kos so much.

    I went to the convention website just now and then I recalled why; oh yeah, ya’ll are  a bunch of mother fucker elitist white people who carry around white mans burden.

    $275 to register? $150 a night for four nights?  And then you have sessions like:  The Middle Class: The Problems it Faces and Progressive Solutions.  WTF?  And as I looked for stuff on issues I am interested in I come across this:   Immigration and Hispanics: The Policy and the Politics.  Please tell me Liza of Culture Kitchen is doing this and titled it like this so that uninformed people would come and learn that the term Hispanic is only enjoyed by HP and that immigration is NOT a Hispanic issue.

    Whatever,  I am pissed.   I am tired of people being like “I am so liberal I always vote for the Democrats.”   We blog to share our voice.  While the digital divide most definitely exists, it is still much cheaper to blog then to attend Kos.  Kos is exclusionary, and that is not what we blogeros are about.When we doing our Blogtitlan convention?…I’ll volunteer to be one of the organizers.  Who else is in with me?
