I am not suggesting facebook is any more sinister than Linked-In or USMB. But I do wonder, with the proliferation of these sites and the people on them, are we better able to aggravate our fellow man? Do we have less security, now that someone who does not like us can monitor us electronically? And finally, when we log on to the pc and stay longer than we had planned, do we experience a little of what a 'net addict might feel -- and if so, is that pull to addiction likely to make us more violent?
If you view humanity primarily through a computer monitor, does it make it easier to kill one?
