Why Are My Parties The Best Parties?

I officially plead guilty for the crime of dumbness and by doing so I make it even worse.
I don't like to assume that the world is going down, but judging by how little privacy is left these days, the statement achieves a greater sense of plausibility.
It's not just CCTV surveillance by the watchstate (especially in England) or fingerprints on passports coming to Europe. Worst of all are the users of the internet themselves, me included. Blogger, Facebook, Livejournal and most openly Myspace - just to name a few - have convinced us to share private, sometimes very private, things with the whole world. Isn't that a bit dumb?
We writer's need to be aware of the consequences of volatile dumbness. We never know who might read what is published.

But on the bright side, think of how many future presidential scandals there will be from old facebook pictures, or sexting, etc... it's going to be goldmine for the media.
A thought-provoking post.

Future presidents and outed LGBT are really something to think about.
I guess for writers it's the balance between private and professional sharings.
