Text messaging murderers the latest in technological primitivism

Idiots:

A Gold Bar man's text messages to his new girlfriend on the day her ex-boyfriend was killed -- including one that allegedly read "it's done" -- helped lead to murder charges against both of them.

When will people realize that technology and crime do not mix? Time and time again we see this: from MySpace rapists to YouTube gangbangers, the uneducated seem unable - or perhaps just unwilling - to see that our cell phones, the Internet, streaming video...all can do just as much harm as they can good. In the digital age, even a seemingly innocuous two word text message can be your downfall...and "survival of the fittest' seems to have taken on a whole new meaning entirely.

There were two types of French resistance unit, (a) the type that used radios, and (b) the type that only used by hand hard copy. (a) got to meet the Gestapo.


The Krauts however, had an ego-prob

ya go out and declare war on the entire fuckin planet because you like the odds

Then you make a little gizmo, call it enigma, because the world is too fuckin' stupid, to crack the cog like mystery of the entire thing

If ya are real smart, what ya don't know will hurt you, if ya are real dumb, it doesn't matter, crayon, text, color-coded drug deal

People who text confessions keep the cops off the back of those of us in taped sleeves and rubber gloves.

Yup,
