This is one of those posts that I thought...hmm, and of course now so glad I did. Each of your comments are worthy of their own post. Proof that I I am smart enough to surround myself with even smarter people. I'll be digging into your comments and sharing them liberally. Wow, what a great discussion!

On one hand access to more is terrific, more info, more options, more entertainment, more flexibility, fewer gatekeeping restrictions..... on the other hand, access to more is like a train wreck of distasteful and tacky come to town, hell bent on leaving it's mark and lifting its skirt...a lost weekend of things we just really don't need to know...but some how...watch anyway... And as Fred says, that's just the public stuff... Last week a tweet from Penelope Trunk gave me pause. I applaud her for it actually. But the responses were surprising to me. Judgement galore...a reflection more of those who chose to respond. And what an eye opener in where we are in some women's issues. So a rather unexpected, revealing, and highly personal, startling tweet, a few words, had such content, such "can't ignore this" content, that it gave me a glimpse of no, no we are not there yet. That window, was to me, a very good thing. Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should.
