The internet and midnight musings
Usually the internet calms me at night when I can't sleep. I'll watch QVC or HSN like I used to do at my dad's house when I was worried about my brother coming home sober (or at all). Tonight it just seems sad, like the whole world is just gone insanely wrong somehow. For every picture that I find of someone saving kittens or a puppy rescued from a puppy mill turned into a rescue dog, there's a hundred, nay, a thousand, pictures of awful things happening all over the world that I can do absolutely nothing about. Do people get into politics because they want to change the world? I can't imagine that anyone would go into it for the pleasure of arguing and getting absolutely nowhere at all, so I am forced to believe that it is for some sort of idealistic reason. Though I suppose for some families it's more of an inherited thing than an actual occupation, like with the Bush family.
Sometimes the internet is a choose your own adventure story. There's a lot of wonderful stuff on the internet and you can absolutely choose to see only the good bits. What I think that people don't think about sometimes is that the internet itself is a form of media, not just the content, and you have to try to read both sides of the argument. Some days one side of the argument is just louder than the other.
