Quote of the week: Michelle Cottle

“Nowadays, a favorite fixation is how can we make teens understand the foolishness of putting drunken, naked spring break pics on Facebook. But from where I sit, it ain’t the young’uns having notable trouble using technology with any level of common sense. Every time you turn around, an ostensible grown-up has done something monumentally stupid like sexting his mistress, sending filthy instant messages to strapping young House pages, or tweeting about his congressional delegation’s classified landing in Iraq. And how about that moron in North Carolina who googled the many ways to kill a person in the days before killing his wife? Now there’s a guy in need of a lesson on the dangers of interconnectivity.”
