Mile-Wide Digital Trails

'Nother think:

Back before there was a World Wide Web, back even before CompuServe, back before we had BBS, or online anything, I learned something very important: never commit to voice or paper* anything that you wouldn't want your mommy to read on the front page. Even the most privately-shared thoughts have a funny way of becoming publicly known.

Yet these people merrily leave a broad, plain digital trail of their conniving and criminality that now really is on the front pages. I'm grateful they're so stupid, though, for that.
