The other last blog

The blog provided an excellent avenue for expressing my opinion about the different issues presented in the class.  I really enjoyed the fact that we can extended discussion from the classroom.  Nonetheless, I think that the most significant aspect of the blog is that it can kind of serve as a vault in time much like the seed bank being established in northern Norway.  If the world were to be wiped out, save for a few million people, they could access our blog: Engaged Rhetoric and study what it takes to form the basis for society.  Our blog really could be the Sparknotes for polis building.  Who knows, maybe one day people will write laws and mandates in acrostic poetry.  Of course Project Angel Heart, or some manifestation of PAH, will become the mainstay of every family's mantelpiece, but more importantly, their and our focus on AIDS will lead to an absence of social stigmas.  This may be because of its lack of importance in a world recovering from massive population loss, yet our explanations concerning the problems in associating people of a particular set to AIDS will serve as a bulwark against much social prejudice.  
Assuming that this massive population loss will occur at the hands of nuclear warfare, there is a strong possibility that birth defects will become commonplace.  Thus our blog will show people that there is nothing wrong or different with people, who have eight eyes or eight legs.  I can thoroughly and honestly say that a society built off of our blog will make an excellent society.
