Boston Bombing - Lots of Monday Morning Quarterbacking

Now that the amateur psychologists are out in force trying to psychoanalyze the motivation behind the Boston Marathon bombing, Tom Friedman has again written an interesting piece that cuts to the quick of the question.   

I particularly liked his comment about labeling modems (in the day) as "Judgment Not Included".  Personally I think that that should be expanded...when someone first touches the Internet every day they should get a nice, annoying popup that says "Judgment Not Included, Truth Highly Improbable, Intelligence Not Guaranteed". 

Of course if they go to Facebook or Twitter, it should read "No Intelligence Detected Here".
