What the "Tweet" is Wrong with People?
March 20th 2010 14:44
The Socialist avalanche is probably going to fall all over us tomorrow. In a grand display of contempt for God, the lunatics in Washington DC have decided to vote in their atrocity against humanity on a Sunday. It will effectively prevent church attendance for all the legislators involved. This obscene legislation has even divided the Catholic Church! The Bishops stand with God in opposing the wholesale slaughter of innocents that will be included as "medical care" while a group representing Catholic hospitals are in favor of it. I guess they won't mind withholding treatment of certain patients when the time comes, either. Apparently political lies mean more to some folks than Biblical truths or the Constitution.
I have an idea why so many people are so overwhelmingly ignorant of the current realities. It seems that computers have, indeed, taken over much of what used to be personal interactions or private business. They're so busy tweeting and twittering and playing with FaceBook that nothing else matters.
People continue to tweet merrily along as the death toll rises from car wrecks caused by twittering drivers. Some people tweet while in church! If a couple is having an argument, they take it to the open pages of FaceBook for all the world to read instead of discussing their personal business in private. One horrific monster even tweeted as her baby was being aborted. Another "mother" tweeted while waiting for an ambulance after her 2 year old son drowned! What the "tweet" have we become?
When it's more important to blather along endlessly than to open your eyes and see the real world, we lose something... ourselves.
A couple of weeks ago I got a Zogby survey. Some of the questions were boggling, to say the least. It asked how many friends I had that I had actually met in person! It asked, basically, if the internet had become my whole life. I do have some friends online, most of us do. Are they exactly who and what they tell us they are? Who knows. As Agatha Christie said of people on vacation, "You only know of them what they tell you." Other questions were designed to check levels of dissatisfaction. Are you happy with your home? Where would you live if you had a choice? I have a feeling that the dissatisfaction levels and the concentration on the internet are somehow connected.
Those of us in the real world use our computers for information and entertainment, not allowing it to consume our every waking moment. It amazes me how obsessed people can get over a piece of technology!

Technology is a good thing, but as with everything else to much of a good thing is bad for you. I don't know how to tweet, I can IM, or web cam family, but that's about the end of it except for emails.

I haven't been watching the news since before the vote was supposed to begin. There'll be time enough to either celebrate or mourn later today. It's a beautiful day here and I don't want to mess it up too soon.

Most legislators are sleeping with whores on Sunday, not going to church. They do their press conferences in church to win votes.

But I wouldn't swear to the honor of any of them, unfortunately...
