Comfort Through Anonymous Solidarity

Weird moment today: I went outside to separate the recyclables and saw the neighbor's female black lab on the porch humping a blanket. I honestly had no idea that a female dog would go around and hump something - seems more like a male thing, you know - but I guess anythings possible.

Anywho... Ever think about the irony of the ever-popular internet social networks? MySpace, Buzznet, FriendsOrEnemies, SocialVibe, Facebook, etc. all seem to bring everyone together; people from different backgrounds, continents...
But in order to fully engage in these communities participants often become almost addicted, neglecting actual human interaction for cyber-interaction. Awkward, right?
