"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Twitter: That Wild Beast

"It is true that we broadcast blindly and that we cannot read our readers’ replies or references, but at least we are reporting on the Island [of Cuba] in 140 character fragments. Always thinking in terms of conspiracies, agents and plots, they haven’t noticed that the technologies have turned every citizen into his or her own mass media. It is no longer foreign correspondents who validate a given story in the eyes of the world, but rather, increasingly, it is our own forays on Twitter that are turned into informative references."
