Social networking is getting tiresome, but I can't quite bring myself to stop taking part. I can hardly stand Facebook, but there I was, just a few minutes ago, making an inane observation about nothing in particular, to no one specific. Twitter is even worse. I subscribed to read the posts coming out of Iran during the 2009 protests, and couldn't even find them. I posted two items, then stopped. Last time I checked, there were about 20 people "following" me on Twitter, and I haven't posted anything of substance, ever. Apparently, no one goes to Myspace anymore. I'm not sure why, but that's what I hear, so I almost never check my page anymore. I wouldn't want to run afoul of the herd.

This "blog" (a word I hate, and for the record, I have opinions about many, many words) is not much better. I want to write about politics, law, religion, and other large topics. So far, it's just this and something about jihadists being virgins. And for this Al Gore invented the internet?
