Well, I 'Twittered'

Everyone was talking about it so I had to give it a spin. I found it... lacking in any real functional purpose.

Twitter: What are you doing?
Me: Looking for someone who gives a fuck what I am doing or what I think.

So, I look around. I actually seek out people. Mostly, what I found was self-absorbed pricks who actually thought that I (or anyone else) actually gives a fuck about what they are eating for lunch. I found a few news services that tweeted me every time they posted a fucking article. News Flash: I'll read your site or subscribe to your rss if I really want to know.

I read tweets by my legislators about the fucking ball game that they are watching. Hmmm... doncha think we have bigger issues to address than sports. IMHO all competitive sports suck. And I certainly don't need to hear what my legislator who is suppose to be balancing our budget, repairing our infrastructure and getting me adequate health care thinks about a fucking game that benefits no one except the bastards that own the teams and the stadium in which the game is played.

But mostly, I was actually HURT when my legislators would not respond to my tweets nor to direct email through their web site. And also, people who 'friended' me (or whatever you want to call it) who did not respond to direct messages with serious direct questions.... well, it just suggests to me that cyber society is as, or more, dysfunctional than the one we live in.

Basically, twitter is facebook, myspace, digg, and any number of other past and present fads which will run its course. Another will pop up and replace it and all of the drones who consider themselves citizens of this great land will open an account and jump off of the cliff while all of the advertising executives will continue to gather meta data on them and monitor them and figure out ways to target them for sales, slander, or jail cells... and possibly mass graves.

So, go ahead twitter heads. Start guessing what the next one will be called. Why don't you try fubar? At least the name of that site describes the state of our society. (Fucked up beyond all repair, for you few who don't know it.)

If anything, this experience has taught me that merely voting for a Democrat to keep the Republican out of office is not any wiser than voting for a fascist. They both are.

Still wonder why Americans are losing faith in their leadership? They are part of this dysfunctional society. And I am a former Marine and Public Servant making these statements. Ironically, I was appointed to my public service job by a Republican. And I consider them to be the vilest of evil.

Hmmm. Could that say something about me?

Nah. They are just dumb asses.
