It's all very well spending the day in front of the computer (apart from a 42 minute run watching episode 3 of Breaking Bad) but when you abuse the power of the internet to send a complaint to Aldi about their Custard Creams you really have to look at yourself.
On the other hand if you have insight to spare… and share, then surely there can be no greater purpose for the Internet than trans-global feedback.
The sort of person who would give of his own time acting spontaneously in (his and) the wider interest, the greater good, would be ....well.... a soldier, a hero, a leader, someone for you lot to look up to.
It's not like we haven't had heroes before - Martin Luther King - Churchill - Mandela... but they had a lot of backing, a lot of popular support. And when it comes to causes... well, let's just say there was a lot of low-hanging fruit around.
But we have reached a time in the world when we need to hammer out the detail.
Heroism, after all, is when you go it alone against the machine.
One man.
A man who knows a good custard cream when he tastes one.
Of course, when Aldi is generous enough to reply and that man uses the opportunity to further suggest that the custard cream selector, should up his game by work-shadowing the jammy dodger guy for a morning, well... some would say that's going a little far.
Not me, you understand.
Some.
