Longevity

I am not now nor have I ever been an active poster, but I am an active monitor of this site. I do occasionally post items as occurences of an interesting nature occur, and I am able to frame them in an interesting manner for consumption. I think the highest price paid for the Internet is that any idiot with a keyboard can write anything under the protection and guise of anonymity. I like that fact. The best part of news articles on the Internet is reading the paranoid, racist, homophobic, ignorant, and downright silly comments that follow. The Internet is the proper place for idiocy, it is inocous. I like freedom of speech, but not when it interferes with private personal ceremonies. In this instance I refer to that walking billboard for moonshine abatement that stages protests outside military funerals to spread their message. Being stupid and crazy is not a crime, but doing so at a time when a father is in the process of burying a son used to warrant a brick to the face and police officers looking the other way. Where did human decency go?
