Most people have nothing to say, and few if any opinions of their own. This
is one of a small number of human behaviors that I don't understand. I think
that people hear or read something, feel some sort of emotional impact from
it, and begin to sound off with the same phrase, like parrots in a forest.
Copy & paste has, perhaps, made this phenomenon worse; at least, it seems
more noticeable.
I use Facebook, and hate it; however, it's one of the few methods that I can
use (and that they will use) to regularly communicate with my grown
children. The other day, for fun, I posted a status update that said, "If no
one could post a quote from a book, song lyric, or a copy of someone else's
status, would Facebook collapse into a void?" The only responses I got were
from one acquaintance who observed that I was "wierd", and another who said
she was going to quote me in her status. I think that last one might even
count as irony.
