What I am trying to promote are a series of good blogs to follow opinion and news, as the newspapers don't really have much news.<br /><br />There are some good sinhala blogs and hopefully I will be able to do one in Sinhala too as most of my writing is directed at them, so that is important.<br /><br />With regard to wikileaks, while I am glad to have peaked into diplomatic messages, I still think they should be private as they are matters of state, which can be disclosed after 30 years, but at the time they are rather confidential and should remain so.Ratmale,Minneriya,Sri Lankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252632858481217930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167149547535484177.post-78349063832365807192011-07-23T09:59:25.045+05:302011-07-23T09:59:25.045+05:30do you have an opinion about the Wikileaks website...do you have an opinion about the Wikileaks website? what are your ideas about secrecy and how blogs can combat this? <br /><br />My feeling is that websites like that are a breath of fresh air and help to keep tyrannical regimes from running wild over the world, despite their stated stance of self-rule for peoples of the world. Hypocrites.<br /><br />on the other hand, my feeling is that sites such as wikileaks must strive to maintain true information, as the spread of disinformation is a real detriment to good governance and social responsibility (see tamilnet.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167149547535484177.post-64547112001760379142011-07-23T09:54:33.685+05:302011-07-23T09:54:33.685+05:30i like reading your blogs, but am not sure i'd...i like reading your blogs, but am not sure i'd be interested in reading a scatter-brained young lankan's blog complete with badly formed sentences, spelling errors, and foolish premises. My feeling is that the youth should build their capacity first before firing off political opinions that may not reflect reality.<br /><br />Nonetheless, I'm sure I could be proven wrong as anything is possible for the young.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
