The issue wasn't lack of sympathy but why there's a lack of sympathy. I didn't read it as a simple "people are assholes" observation. Everybody drowns in white noise so this seems like just another story, barely different from Anna Nicole or Don Imus. It fed my anti-technology bent, maybe I'm an easy audience for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661639.post-66903726298864530072007-04-18T10:13:00.000-04:002007-04-18T10:13:00.000-04:00I don't know, CN -- what does this post do for you...I don't know, CN -- what does this post do for you? I can't call the three paragraphs terribly off-base, but it would be astretch to call them particularly insightful. And in the end, they're not particularly coherent, either. Is the Rude Pundit annoyed at demands for his sympathy, or the lack of sympathy in everyone else? (Sure, both is an answer, but doesn't that deserve more and different explanation that the post offers?) There's an indictment of technology, but I suspect that would be disavowed as secondary to the greater disaffection of the post. The greater disaffection, though, seems more symptom than diagnosis, which leaves it ill-served by the caustic cynicism that comes with.General Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901297675500034786noreply@blogger.com
