We are Anonymous.Recently, it has come to our attention that several online retailers have decided to ride the coattails of our sudden popularity by offering aparrel and other swag bearing our image. This is extremely offensive to Anonymous, as the very idea of wearing an article that identifies one as anonymous flies directly into the face of who exactly we are. We are anonymous. We cook your meals. We haul your trash. We connect your calls. We drive your ambulances and we guard you while you sleep. We put you under the knife to remove your bloated, infected spleen. We deliver your mail. We relay the evening news from the comfort of your television set, and we work dilligently to print it to give you something to read with your coffee and croissants the next morning. We are everyone and we are no one. We do not need to advertise our identity.Because our image is not a copyright, we can not stop anyone from selling items bearing it. However, we can suggest that you do not purchase these items. Wearing anything that tells the world you are anonymous compromises the veil of protection being anonymous provides, as well as cancelling out your anonymity. Wearing a t-shirt is like wearing a crosshair. You become an easy target for the Cult of $cientology and it puts you at serious risk of harm by its operatives. Use good judgement. Do not compromise yourself and your fellow Anonymous. Do not reveal your personal information to an online retailer that could possibly be a front for data mining operations by the cult.Remain Anonymous. Remain vigilant.We are Anonymous.We are LegionWe do not forgive.We do not forget.And we are certainly not some Xenu-forsaken fashion statement!

Like most functions which break barriers of class, gender, and ethnicity by challenging social norms, the eighteenth-century masquerade had strong and vocal opponents.

"Middle-class moralist" such as Henry Fielding, Samuel Richardson and Eliza Haywood also aligned themselves with the anti-masquerade movement.

Mr. Shuman and the FoxLA News Team, True to your vociferous journalistic fashion, you recently ran a piece on Anonymous and the "Internet Hate Machine". In your zeal, you've distorted the truth. We, Anonymous, have been victims of a gross mischaracterization. Anonymous is a docile beast, and never attacks without provocation, or just cause. Over 9000 strong, Anonymous is legion. Anonymous is NOT a terrorist. Anonymous is not a gang. Anonymous is not a hacker, and Anonymous if not a racist. Anonymous is the sick little bastard inside all of us. Anonymous giggles at accidents and cackles at tragedies. Anonymous is humanity when the spotlight of society is shining elsewhere. Anonymous is your neighbor and your grocer, your doctor and your friend. Anonymous is not to be feared, but respected and ignored.Anonymous wants to be left ALONE. "...and he ashed him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we re many." ANONYMOUS is legion. Anonymous doesn't forgive. Anonymous doesn't forget. EVER. United as one, divided by zero.

Anonymous is humanity when the spotlight of society is shining elsewhere. Anonymous is your neighbor and your grocer, your doctor and your friend. Anonymous did the mash. He did the monster mash. The monster mash. It was a graveyard smash. He did the mash. It caught on in a flash. He did the mash. He did the monster mash

Researchers at the National Academy of Sciences have found that the lightning pace of media brought on by Facebook feeds and Twitter has made the average person increasingly indifferent to human suffering.

When used in a self-centered fashion, it's one more piece of technology increasing the individualistic streak we see so much in Western culture and making us islands unto ourselves.

It's not a clear-cut question. Used properly, Twitter can be an amazing tool for shrinking our globe, quickening international response and building relationships.
