As some of you may remember, I started this blog with an article about what my dad thought of TV and the effects it would have on our society.\u00a0 For those who haven\u2019t seen that article, basically my dad felt that TV would turn us into a nation of idiots, thus he called it an Idiot Box.\u00a0 I can\u2019t imagine what dad would think if he could see some of the stuff that people now say and do on the internet today.\u00a0 \u00a0It never ceases to amaze me the things that people will write in post on Face Book, Twitter and Yahoo that they would never say to another person in a face to face conversation.\u00a0 The internet gives some people the kind of courage to say things that they could never bring themselves to say in polite company.\u00a0 \u00a0Given that most of us would never say many of the things in person that we post on the internet, let\u2019s make some New Rules!<\/p>\n
