For ex, he often(more than 20 times) has ditched his Law Enforcment Security Team. I disagree w/him politically, but I think he is bizarre as a person. And, that was before this happened!

Someone always knows where we are. That's great if we're in trouble and need help, but I wonder if all of this connectivity is going to make innocent solitude a thing of the past. I agree Carla.

Our culture *is* so connected. If I don't tweet for more than a day, I'm asked what I'm up to. I have google latitude and if my position on the map doesn't move for a few days, my mom checks to see if I'm ok. So yeah, I would say off the grid raises suspicions.
