This is real sad. I never understood why people get off taking advantage of other people online. Especially when it is kids.

In short: These days I find myself, more and more, longing for “the good old days” – a time BEFORE the internet (especially social media), personal computers and cellphones. Even 24/7 cable news has imo mostly become a veritable wasteland. A tool the “puppetmasters” use to control and distract Us (the masses); to dumb us down and keep Us angry, fearful AND divided so that WE won’t pay attention to how they’ve sold Us down river and continually rob Us blind to enrich themselves, their families and friends.

And in America Our young people, in particular, are sitting ducks for vicious prey because, imo, WE have failed them in every way imaginable over the last 25-30 yrs.

My heart goes out to this young man’s mother and family.

When I think about the creation of the internet, personal computers and cell-phones – and living in a world where mankind has Open access to massive amounts of information and limitless ways to engage in ALL forms of activities…good, bad, righteous or just plain Evil – I am reminded of the opening paragraph of Charles Dickens’ 1859 historical novel: “A Tale of Two Cities”

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way–in short, the period was so far like the present period that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”
