I am thankful for: information available on the internet

Today I'm thankful for the information that is available to us through the internet, and the freedom to make decisions based on that information. Earlier during the day I was about to use the contribution of an internet user (legally of course) and was curious about who this person was. A couple of clicks took me to a page where she describes herself as a rather radically conservative American. Not the kind who feels strongly about free market economics and smaller goverment, more the «socially conservative» who believes the economy should be judged on the colour of the president's skin... So I took the (rather easy) decision not to use her contribution because I just didn't want to give her and her ideas more exposure. My gesture today was tiny and probably will have no measurable impact whatsoever, but in fact we make these decisions often, every day. Whether we pass on a story via FB (or decide not to pass it on), tell someone we know to «check this or that on the internet», e-mail a link or comment directly on a website, we make such decisions and I think it's great that we can get information about them and use that information.
