Virginia: One students reaction to Wired magazines Article.

The case in Virginia is to say the least, sickening. My first reaction to hearing about the events was “What the fuck, man!”. Those poor kids and professors did nothing to deserve that kind of end. I my moral opinion I personally would stay a thousand feet away of any professional endeavor that had anything to do with the profiting from anything dealing with that entire situation, whether it would get me fame or even a billion dollars cash money. It seems this “Dave” person has a different ethical arrangement by his action before the Wired interview. however, it seems that he has some kind of moral conscience due to the fact that he with drew his innuendo by spilling his guts about the nature of his blog (though he did add the cya b.s. about donating money to charity, “yeah what charity? The new car for Dave fund”). I guess in the weakest structures of humanity one can only hope for the morality of self preservation, even this gunman didn’t have that one down. In every situation of desperate time some entrepreneur tries to make a buck off of the misfortunes of others. I can remember being a kid after the wrecking havoc of hurricane Andrew, living in south Florida at the time and some guy was going around Miami selling five pound bags of ice for fifteen dollars a pop. Well, as it turns out we were fortunate to live in Palm Beach at the time and by the grace of God we were spared the major devastation that Miami received. But, the guy who was gauging the price of ice at his definite advantage, was identified on the news by my mother who was furious because he was also the delivery guy who came every week and delivered around three hundred dollars worth of lobster and steak. So when this person from the “Five Star” meat delivery came the following week my mother gave him a piece of her mind and we never saw that guy again. Well, to make a long story short, I learned a valuable lesson that day when I heard for the first time more french come out of my mother’s mouth than a drunken sailor in a bar fight, don’t ever,ever,ever think for one moment that someone isn’t watching and will know your a cheap opportunist. It is definitely all about the ethics of proper capitalism and a free market. This “Dave” guy was out to make a buck and there is a million of those bastards out there. It is the fault of a sensationalist, and ignorant media who doesn’t see through this before they randomly do google searches in a desperate attempt to get the scoop and out bid the next guy for the Associated press story franchise. in regards to Myspace or face book it has an effect but for me it has to do with these porn sites that waste me time getting me to read messages from fake users in order to get me to click a link thinking it is some person out there who really is interested in having some beneficial contact. All in all it does not bother me and in the long run I will get better at filtering out the real peeps from the sideshow.
