Oversharing

One of the big stories in the news around New York today involves the Fire Commissioner's idiot son and his derogatory Tweets against blacks, Jewish folks, and women. Why do people feel the need to share every thought with others via Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets?  There is such a thing as oversharing.  Maybe it's not wise to put every opinion you have online.  The Fire Commissioner's son found this out the hard way since he's now resigned from his job after his awful Tweets were brought to light.  I have no sympathy for this guy.  He's getting all the grief he deserves.  However, his swift downfall should be used as an example for others.  It's a brave new world, people.  You're free to have your say online, but just remember that your words can come back and bite you in the ass, too.
