Another school related shooting. I don't even know where to begin. This one hits home as my kids' friends attend UC Santa Barbara as many, many Sonoma County kids do.
The shooter, Elliot Rodger, was mentally disturbed and felt rejected by the sorority girls. He plotted his revenge and carried it out. He was going to make them pay. Society gasps in horror.
I've got news for you all. Mark Zuckerberg, the grand pooh-bah of launching social networking, created Facebook for the very same reasons, to get back at girls who rejected him. Society gleefully posts pics and information with wild abandon.
While gun shootings grab attention and spotlights and "film at 11:00" Facebook is much more insidious. I keep warning you all that whatever you post online is a hacker's paradise. There is way too much information out there about you already and you have *no* idea where it goes once launched into cyberspace. Most of it is collected using a benign looking app or social media.
Your odds of being a victim of involuntary data collection and spying are much greater than being a victim of a rogue shooter. What's even more disturbing is that the motivation behind the shooter's actions and the creation of Facebook were born of the same angry revenge, negativity, and intent to do harm.
Tell me again exactly WHY we are rewarding Zuckerberg's sick, twisted motives that mimic a murderer/rapist? You all really are being raped -- digitally. Mark and Elliot have a lot of things in common. Both are clearly dangerous misogynists. One has a computer. One has a gun. One is hailed a hero. One is not. Go figure.
