You’re Anne of Green Gables!
by L.M. Montgomery
Bright, chipper, vivid, but with the emotional fortitude of cottage cheese, you make quite an impression on everyone you meet. You’re impulsive, rash, honest, and probably don’t have a great relationship with your parents. People hurt your feelings constantly, but your brazen honestly doesn’t exactly treat others with kid gloves. Ultimately, though, you win the hearts and minds of everyone that matters. You spell your name with an E and you want everyone to know about it.

Today waiting in my fax at the office…. an announcement from the good ol’ law school that they are looking for an Assistant Admissions Director. Interestingly they were seeking alums looking for the alternative career path. For a brief perverted moment I thought about it, but then quickly cast it aside and continued with the day… I need to be passionate about what I’m doing. This, I could not see myself passionate about.

Subway Fracas Escalates Into Test Of the Internet’s Power to Shame

Apparently she had to drop out of Uni because of this. There’s a fierce debate on the expat forum about it. Some feel it’s just desserts, others are like, technology’s run amok, no one deserves this.

I think everyone is missing the point. It has nothing to do with deserves or not. When an individual decides to give the proverbial finger to his/her society and its norms, then society will deal with the offender in its own (and unpredictable) way. Very Hobbesian and reasonable in terms of the social contract theory. Does the “punishment” outweigh the “crime”? Maybe so, but we live in a world where the power of technology applifies things and more than ever before, one needs to have their heads screwed on right, lest they become the next Internet chain mail topic.

Things to learn from:
1. The world is not your ashtray.
2. Golden Rule – Just Do It ™
