Here’s a blogging Jane that you really should meet: Jane Novak, suburban homemaker, blogger, fighter for freedom of the press, and the bane of Yemen’s government’s existence (mostly due the aforementioned fighting for freedom of the press). I only recently discovered her, thanks to Kat, so I’ll just link to things about her. Read, and be amazed and inspired at how much one person who cares and writes can do.
- New York Times (must read!)
- TigerHawk
- Jane’s blog, Armies of Liberation
This is positively amazing that one woman can make so much of a difference with a minimum financial investment and no bombs!
Evidently, Jane has the Yemeni government furious with her but average Yemenis seem to like freedom and, at least this journalist, is willing to die for future generations. To me, it’s proof that the desire for Freedom is truly a universal human essence.
Maybe some of the higher-ups in our government could use her work as a model; it would sure be a lot cheaper than bombing, lost lives and nation building. We could call it “Words, Not War” or “Blogs, Not Bombs”!
Just wow! Bravo, Jane!
