Reports were wrong.. that McDonald's bombing was in Jakarta.. close enough though..
I've found myself wandering the chats of late.. looking for a consensus on the religious and political upheaval. It's been a frustrating and somewhat futile exercise, for what I've seen is the deterioration of rooms which at one time, were real forums for the exchange of thought. These days it seems to be a collective of sychophants, pursuing pseudo-intellectuals about with tongues lolling, with very little said of substance, discounting the new scatalogical phrases I've managed to pick up along the way..
Is this the realization of the old saw 'familliarity breeds contempt..'?
'Tis a shame when all people have to offer in the way of intellectual exchange, is a collection of blanket statements, instant statistics, and poorly digested snippets of fact picked up from a glance at the eleven o'clock news.
Even worse, when this is the total of their philosophical and moral ruminations as well..
Where once the Net was used by those with something to say, now it appears to be the tool of those with nothing of substance to impart, and a prodidgeous amount of time to share it.
