I have been thinking about getting into the blogging sphere since the past couple of months. I guess i am not alone. I join the millions who have taken up blogging and the am also with the significant others who are still thinking.
In my case, I sometimes get concerned with people take things out of context and make them sound different to what it is intended for. How will people respond to my blogs? Will we start another hysterical competition of wits.
Take the example of the topic of Uranium sales to India. Australia is clearly divided on this issue and rightly so. It is an important issue and the can have long term consequences for the future of many nations. many people have come out openly to support or oppose the sales to India. Their opinion have been taken as their opinion and that is it. But when I suggested my opinion, people started blaming me personally. I was blamed for being an agent for the Indian Uranium lobby.
By the way, I do believe that it is in Australia and India's long term interest to treat each other with respect and trust. If Australia is serious about India being its strategic partner than the first step is having trust. Let us not forget that India is Australia's fourth largest trading partner and the fastest growing.
I will encourage you all to listen to Dr Lavina Lee's presentation at the Sydney Institute. Here is the link http://www.thesydneyinstitutepodcast.com/2010/03/04/LavinaLeeWhyAustraliaShouldSellUraniumToIndia.aspx
