Personally, I like strong opinions - even when I disagree with them. At least the other person is passionate about their stance - nothing worse than someone being wishy-washy. Well, you need to check out these new Manifestos from ChangeThis...

Note: The following is from the alert email I get from Change this, I did not write it (make sure I give attribution properly, I would like someone to do for me)

Additional comments on ChangeThis - I really like the website and what it stands for and the forum it provides for authors. There are several "known" authors (such as Seth Godin mentioned in this entry) that provide excerpts from their books via ChangeThis. It's a cool site with many really good manifestos - you need to check it out.
