I thought this was a great quote because not only do I agree with it, I believe it will become more and more or an issue in the future. Politics are gradually becoming more relevant in our lives, and while the internet if used effectively could serve as a powerful tool, right now it is being used improperly. Everyone has access and can go on the web and yell about something, but there are also those who have well thought out opinions and have done their research but are now being put in the same category as everyone else. It is great that politicians such as Obama can use the internet to get what they want hear to everyone around the world, but I think we must be careful with how much we allow to be published by anyone at anytime, because it will and is causing unnecessary issues that must be dealt with.

I agree that we have to be careful about what we read and that the interent sometimes causes people to overreact to issues, but if you are like Zeke Spier and research what he see online, then I think we will be ok. Will everyone do that, I don't think so because some people believe anything if they believe it's from a relevant sourse. I still believe the internet is effect tool and a powerful tool, and everything that is powerful can be exploited.
