Thanks to the digital age we can ALL leave a legacy of one sort or another and leave an ongoing mark on society. But, just like anything else, for most people they ignore the power they actually have to leave that mark on society.

Are you suggesting that profound comments like "f*ck you, retard", "Obama ruined America", and any statement about a Kardashian fails to leave something of merit behind after our death? Hmm, never made the connection.  Grin

Those are the reminders to us making sure the mark we leave IS something of merit. And, by comparison, it makes it quite easy for folks like us.

It really does.

I suddenly feel like my Shadow War campaign and my threads about social boundaries and prejudice in comics and self-improvement are steeped in wisdom by comparison.

My threads on attractive celebrities and extolling the virtues of Alizée are a bit suspect.
