What an unfortunate turn of events that every great leap forward in science and technology is managed to become a new device for the nastiness we continue to allow to fester within our society. Why do we allow the germ of hate and violence to remain? Why is not a concerted moral effort made to portray it as the evil it is and to eliminate it?
Truth be told, we like to have a little hate around... just in case we need it for things like mosques and minorities. Our Hates are the jumper-cables that we use to get the Christines of our psyches going after a spell of the drought of Charity.

Talk with your daughters and sons about the unintended consequences of mean, thoughtless posts on the Internet and by cell phone.
Or let your teenagers read "Teen Cyberbullying Investigated" published in January, 2010.
TCI is written for teens to learn from the experiences of their peers. Real cases are presented of kids in trouble over their emails, blogs, icons, Facebook and YouTube entries and more.
Endorsed by Dr. Phil on April 8, 2010 ("Bullied to Death" show) TCI brings reality to the cyberworld. Thanks for looking at: www.freespirit.com (publisher) or on www.askthejudge.info (a free website for & about teens and the law).
Respectfully, -Judge Tom.
nce we motivate ourselves to speak to young people about the consequences, we would find that we also would become more aware of our own meanness and thoughtlessness.
I suppose this might clean up the nastiness of public and political discourse in the country: being aware of the consequences of our malice!
