Internet Rumbles

Lots of blogs and forums out there have been ablaze lately with debate over the war between Beaumont firefighters and City Hall.
The issue certainly is destined to make the Top 10 list for stories of the year, and the ongoing online propaganda campaign throughout the land has certainly provided a great amount of entertainment and given people a way to blow off some steam.
I love it!
Thanks to the Internet, people can chime in, even under the cloak of anonymity, with ease and speed.
On one hand, the Internet is a great place for healthy and spirited debate. On the other hand, it's also an avenue for people to hang inaccurate and mean-spirited comments and develop wacky conspiracy theories. The former just goes hand-and-hand with the latter.
