It must feel great to be on the right side of a black and white issue.
The internet is a cannibal.
Have any of you ever met real Mongolians?
Genghis is their national hero.
The largest empire in history.
Why did it fall apart?
"No cellphones." They say.
Information could only travel at horse speed.
If the Hoard had cellphones we would be speaking different languages today.
But now we have the internet.
A marvel of science like Dr Frankensteins creation.
But it needs to be fed, it is insatiable.
The internet is a cannibal, it feeds on human flesh.
First the dirty pictures were enough.
Now it eats dead babies.
The blood of the innocents tastes sweet to the tongue of Traffic counters.
Traffic.
I realize I am using the internet to talk trash about the internet.
The internet is a cannibal.
Bigger every day it will be strong enough to reach out and kill.
Or maybe it already has.
Victory through peace or Peace through victory?
The internet doesn't care, keep them dead babies coming.
They are great for traffic.
It is my cannibal of choice.
Is it the Opiate of the Masses?
not fucking likely.
I sure don't feel numb, do you?
Peace.

beautifully told .... thanks.
Texts are more then what their creators say; they are how we interpret them, what we do with them. And the Internet offers medicine as well as poison. One hopeless afternoon I found myself Googling "suicide best way," thinking about checking out, but among the hopeless hits, what I really found was a way out of my hell. I found help.
You are right Julie, it isn't what we have or know so much as what we do with it. One of the Internets best strengths lies in going to where you didn't set out to go, a serendipity that was not programmed into search engines intentionally but nevertheless is integral to the online experience. Thanks for sharing.
