My view of social media is that it is a set of tools, not a religion.

Liberation movements - prizing ends over means - are not always particular about their friends or scrupulous about their transactions.

Most recently, the president's reluctance to offend Senator Rick Santorum - a Catholic theocrat who believes that states should have the power to arrest gay lovers in their bedrooms, or even to criminalize couples who use contraceptives - was an occasion to wonder what, exactly, Mr. Bush was born-again into.

Anyone with an Internet service provider can be a pundit or whatever they want.
