Am I the only one who remembers the days when twitting meant putting someone in your killfile? (Yes, I know the twits at Twitter like to call it tweeting.) We're seeing first hand, in many venues, why pure democracy and populism don't work; and why only a Republic can long last without degenerating into chaos, and then dictatorship.
Twitter is not a democracy any more than facebook is. You have complete control over YOUR HOUSE as long as it doesn't abuse your neighbors or the country. Or someone in power dislikes you.
