Humanity is a Cancer

Torn recently defined cancer as "your own cells turning against you." My comment was, "by that definition, humanity is a cancer." Well, here's one of our cancerous cells: One or more people at Ruckus Network Inc. created a fake profile on Facebook.com to dupe people into giving their email addresses so Ruckus could send unsolicited advertising. The rumor is that the profile was created by a "zealous young Ruckus employee, who still works at the company." I can just imagine the glee of upper management over the "initiative" taken by this young up-and-comer. I can hear the self-satisfied chuckles about how lucky this company feels to have such a wonderfully creative person working for them. The rest of the article describes other lengths to which people will go to make a buck. Ugh, I gotta get out of this funk I've been in for the past couple days. I'm oppressed by bad news, sad thoughts, and a feeling of dread.
