A friend recently shared a facebook posting that appeared to be obsessed with the President's recent golf outing during Presidents Weekend. These folks are too young to remember President Eisenhower who, it is reported, played 800 rounds while in office. That equates to two foursomes per week plus chipping around on the south lawn. What I was witnessing was the downside of the Internet as the commentary was both snarky and disrespectful. But pre-Internet these people had no place to go to vent their anger. This led to burning the breakfast toast, kicking the dog and finger-waving in traffic.
Ah, but now they can see their vitriolic comments in print, vent their venom and bask in their fifteen minutes of fame - all of which should contribute to a more pleasant household atmosphere. So, three cheers for the Internet with all its flaws and hackings.
