Privitized the Means of Communication

So, MySpace has kicked off the sex offenders. Will Facebook follow? It’s hard to show a lot of public sympathy for registered sex offenders—but the label is pretty broad and it doesn’t really go away. Maybe some college guy has too much to drink and goes streaking through the soccer field near campus. Maybe some kids happened to be having soccer practice at the time. Oops. So that was dumb—and he pleads guilty to whatever, because he did indeed do something dumb. He pays a fine. And he’s now a sex offender, which means ostracization. And as invitations to events and things are increassingly sent through Facebook, it means he’s likely to miss out on a lot. Now, the government could’t pass a law that says nobody is permitted to invite sex offenders to parties—but Facebook is a private company, to an extent, it can do whatever it wants.
mark watson the “thinker”slap happy Boy, do I ponder my thoughts on Tumblr.com each and every day… Just try to post my messages and share them with friends and family together for a unique weblogging experience that’ll blow everyone else’s mind! Remember, as I see it, it’s never too late or too early to know why Tumblr.com is the most reliable online source for blog creation, sharing and connecting. Anyway, please welcome me to the Tumbleverse. Be sure to Twitt me this afternoon at http://www.slaphappy.twitter.com. I appreciate my tumbling and sharing abilities and look forward to continued success in the decades that follow. I am taking a day of rest and look forward to Friday’s 45th birthday festivities in three days. You can post a YouTube video from Monday’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno on my Tumbleblog at http://www.slaphappy.tumblr.com. Watch Leno speak his mind in his opening monologue and tell me what I think of this YouTube video.
