Ah, The Internet!

Fascinating how modern technology
in communications has advanced with
a rapidity that is head-spinning to the
elderly and liberating to the young and
the opinionated, though the former's use
is an exploration of impermissible limits
and the latter's the opportunity at long
last to air yawn-inducing perceptions for
which there was never an audience at hand.
This is termed the democratization of
free speech and communication enabling
anyone able to master the starter-level
of advanced technology to grunt out in
illiterate mumbles their dissatisfaction 
with life as a social-victimized outsider
of constantly shifting populist culture. The
irresistible allures of the social media
platforms draw the interest and the ire of
the entire spectrum of civil and uncivilized
society from sanitary engineer to president
homebody to celebrity, royalty to prison
incarcerates, each invested in opening the
deep confines of their sensibilities to
eager public scrutiny, all while insisting on
their right to privacy, prepared to bring
suit against those who intrude, while the
more political-minded state their outrage
firing up against incompetent governments
and waging skillful verbal battle with the
numbskull morons who admire and support
the same useless twits their votes have
placed into public office in a world where
doom draws ever nearer, cry its prophets.
