Just because your family doesn't have the good manners to visit Grandma on a regular basis doesn't mean the rest of the world is lonely thanks to the internet. If anything, I think the internet has spawned more real contact between people than we ever could have imagined. I've been places to meet people I'd otherwise never have met, and they have visited me. That's my experience, and my worldview. I live less than a mile from my eldest son and see him maybe once a month. I can't blame that on the internet - he's very busy with work and school and rarely answers an email.
You need to get out more. Life is still going on out there.

pass the tupperware, i have to barf again.
How can the US gov't legislate control of a private sector company? It can't be legal, much less Constitutionally valid to do so.
