As the famous rock DJ John Peel once quipped, “Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don’t have any surface noise. I said, ‘Listen, mate, life has surface noise.” This issue is for the crate diggers.
“I needed no telescope except my attention.” And so it was with me: an anguish of yearning sharpened my eyes, a violent need to see my fellow men and, even more, to be seen by them.
I keep asking people who slam Facebook and Google for letting people post lies and other stuff we loathe this question: What, exactly, do you want them to do that won't also make them the editors of the Internet, and arbiters of truth? Still waiting for convincing answers.
