According to USA Today, SUP is at the forefront of sociology. Our demands for privacy are not only outmoded and outdated, they are not socially beneficial.

I don't like this society. Can I please have interstellar travel now so I can go elsewhere?

You know, I'm actually all for looking out for your neighbors, getting to know them, reaching out. Too many people mind their own business when it comes to things like child or spousal abuse. Or the lonely elderly neighbor who is isolated and needs help with the basics. Or the harried single parent who could use a little help sometimes. With the internet and cell phones people are increasing tuning out of society. That's not a great thing in my book.

But there's a difference between staying connected with your community and easedropping. FFS. I'm supposed to watch my neighbor because she might be making a bomb? *slaps forehead*

Yes we should engage more our neighbors, but it should be out of neighborliness, compassion, and community, not from paranoia.

This article answers all I need to know about why LJ is heading in the direction it's headed in.

All of what you said. The difference is *compassion* and *empathy* as you say.
