of blogs private limited?

Kelvin Koo blogs on the CZ issue. He has an interesting post that asks whether blogs should be made private.

"Should a blog be private?
CAN a blog be private?

I think what people need to realise is, blogs can never be private.
It goes against the very concept of a blog and the underlying technology that makes blog such a powerful tool of communication in today’s society.

The internet is not a private medium. If you wish to say anything that is not suitable for public consumption, hold that tongue.
After all, the bible tells us that our tongue can be a venomous snake (paraphased) and that we should rein it in."

The internet is a world wide spider web. Once you blog, you are pouring your feelings, your emotions, your thoughts, your life story for others to read. You'll be read but not be seen.

To make a blog private? I think some blogs(LiveJournal, I think) can make certain posts password-protected right? Yet again, like what Kelvin said, password protection may not be always fool-proof.
