Your Eyes Are Not Google Glass.
I don't think the either-or scenarios you're describing are as likely as a division of society into the interface-friendly and the interface-hostile. We're already seeing it. Some of us love our smartphones - I call mine my "third lobe" and feel an almost physical hollowness when I reach for it and remember it's plugged in at home or whatever - and some people can't stand the damn things no matter how useful and friendly they get.

I, Anonymous.
@27 In Middle-Earth, trolls are best destroyed with sunlight. In D&D, it's fire and acid. Online, I much prefer the latter...

We See Christ's Love Most Clearly When Men Fuck Women.
Am I the only one that can feel these idiots, and everyone like them, slipping into irrelevance? "Tab A fits into Slot B, therefore JESUS MAGIC!" is possibly one of the weakest arguments I've heard. For fuck's sakes guys, give up and go back to your flocks. (Baaaa!)

This Is Offensive to the BLT Community.
I ran a poll on my LiveJournal years ago that went, "If a queer-friendly coffee shop were to offer a LGBT sandwich - supposing the B, L, and T were the traditional bacon, lettuce, and tomato - what should the G be?" Guacamole won by a landslide, but gouda was a fair second. (I don't think anyone voted for gum.)

The List of Best People.
Would the pro-NRA anons care to say something reasoned and articulate in defense of the NRA's publication of an "enemies" list? Anything...? I honestly want to see some kind of reasoned justification for a major lobby group doing something most people quit doing by Grade 4.

Have You Ever Thrown a Drink in Someone's Face?.
I am sufficiently amused by this, Megan, to offer to let you throw a drink in my face. Water, please, unless you give me notice to bring spare clothes :) heck, I could even return water (that's like returning fire, I guess, but with water) if you like. Maybe at a Slog event? We could argue about hockey or cupcakes or something. It's not a fetish or anything; the concept just amuses me, as I have never been a drink-thrower nor a drink-target...
