It’s a form of communication that requires a person to be constantly aware that anything you say can and will be used against you, but somehow not to mind.

This is a really interesting ready, especially if you have interest in the changing tides of privacy. No, not the “is the NSA listening to my phone calls” privacy. But the rest of the world knowing what you’re up to privacy. You see, I’ve never card much about the former. “Why should you care?” I’ve always wondered. And the best I can figure is that you care about what those people think about you. On some level, I guess I do. I naturally want people to like me, but where the line really exists is when those people start to fuck with me. And that’s why I don’t trust the government to have access to all of my life. If Bill from South Dakota doesn’t like that I rape horses, that’s fine. We’re all entitled to you know, whatever. But if I’m going to be written up as a commie and hung from the rafters by some secret three letter agency, you know, I have a problem with that.

I hadn’t really considered the generational difference before, which is what I think I’ve found most interesting. Of course from my track record, I identify with transparency. I suppose people’s reasons are different though. After the whole mix of angles are considered, I still come out of the tubes with introverted goals. It’s not that I want any sort of fame, long or short, but rather that I want to know who I am, and I want the people closest to me to as well.

Because I still haven’t figured out, if not this, then why the hell are we alive? Kind of disturbingly cyclical I suppose.
