My ever-so-cool friend Sam, of Midnight Sun, was trolling the b Web site today and sent me a link to the comments on LaDawn Black's Love Chronicles. In one story, a girl found out her boyfriend had bought a second cell phone (for his friend, he said) and was using that phone to cheat and talk to other women.

From commenter Greta:

cell phones have really destroyed some relationships. they allow people to conduct whole lives without the other even knowing it. Cell phones are evil — i tell you:)

 

Well, I hate to mangle an NRA slogan, but: Cell phones don't kill relationships, people kill relationships. Ever since man began walking upright, men (and women) have found ways to cheat, sneak and otherwise be unfaithful. Whether they have the Internet, carrier pigeons or cell phones, if someone wants to cheat, they will. Stop blaming the technology and blame the person.

I'll get off my soap box now.
