One day, we're being chastised and lectured by the Wise Old Men that we freely give far too much information to the internet and social networking sites, and the next day, I'm watching three of these very people freely giving information to the internet on a social networking site.

(For the record, I'm either male or female, between the ages of 14 and 79, living in the somewhat United States somewhere between the Atlantic and Pacific on two sides, and Mexico and Canada on the two other sides... but I am left-handed and posses a rather below-average IQ).
