Favorite Quotes...

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.

Too open about our feelings?

Tonight I heard on WCCO News that people had posted something online about the recent death of the airplane mechanic. They had said that they were glad he died because he was doing a job that they had lost in 2005.

How can they say that? I mean this man has a 12-year-old son, who is now an orphan, because 2 years ago his mom died of cancer. As a reporter said, if you said that in person, could you say that to that 12-year-old orphan?

Which brings me to my title..Are we too open about our feelings online? Is it because we feel a certain type of freedom and empowerment that we think we can say anything we want without backlash or guilt of saying it?

I may voice my opinions online and more specifically on this blog, but I know that there are certain things you DO NOT say. I'm just amazed at these posters and I shake my head at them. You should be ashamed.
