Do you read
the comment sections on websites (besides this one of course)? Is the comment section the voice of the
people (as opposed to the elite: the paid journalists and columnists)? Do you
agree with this writer that the voice of the establishment is often the “West,”
those who look down on African and Asian nations as though they are on the edge
of collapse? How do you differentiate
between trolls and commenters if you do?
What is your own netiquette?

Is the 8 track next?
Does all “obsolete”
technology eventually make a comeback?
What do you think about these pro-CD and anti-streaming arguments? What is your preferred means of listening to
and/or collecting music?
Global anarchy does not seem like it's working too well…
Is some type
of world government one solution (or perhaps the only solution) for the global
crises we now face, such as nuclear proliferation and climate change? To what extent could the UN fulfil this
role? Why do you think the idea of world governance
was more seriously considered 70 years ago than it is today?
In camp's camp
How do you
feel when commercial companies pay lip service to social causes like LGBTQ
rights? Is this just the price one pays
for becoming accepted and mainstream?
What do you think about using humor as a means for a sub-culture to
fight against a dominant culture? Do you
appreciate camp?
Teas, Spices, Oils and X
This is the last entry you can comment on for mid October to mid-November.
What do you think about alternative medicine? Do people have a tendency to want to take drugs that they feel are natural or traditional, ignoring the fact that these can also be harmful? Could this be seen in responses to the COVID epidemic? Does it bother you that X (ex-twitter) is blocking the tweets of people like Dr. Philips?
