“Twitter is, without question, the most influential public square we have.” wtf? Twitter is not a public square and it’s not that influential.

The bottom line though is I can’t bring myself to care whether or not someone is on twitter. It doesn’t make you that bad if you’re there. I just can’t support a Nazi. Not even .000001% or whatever. That’s a bullshit argument too, btw.

It’s crazy to just say, oh well, I’m one of millions supporting a Nazi. What’s to be done? Sure, I could just stop, but since I’m one of millions, what responsibility should I take on myself. I guess, regarding this, none! Yay, that was such an easy argument to make.

Twitter is just more mistake in the direction of giving up local news in favor of national pundits.

The death of local newspapers is a big part of our problem. :(
