. . . to the efforts to discredit the Internet? A television news channel tells us of a study that shows Facebook and Twitter to be as “addictive” as cigarettes and alcohol. Is every realm of human activity, every expression of people’s self-interest, to be treated as an “addiction” [to be “cured,” of course, by interventionists]? Future “studies” might undertake the “addiction” to food: There is not a day that goes by without my fulfilling my habit of eating something. Oh, my!! I’m hooked!!
Perhaps future studies might explore the “addiction” many people have to politics, and of their seemingly uncontrollable efforts to forcibly regulate the lives, property, and behavior of everyone within their reach. What about those “addicted” to watching CNN and MSNBC?
