SL is the greatest thing to hit the world since 1776 (July4th, to be exact) because it allows you to be ANYONE and do ANYTHING.

Its a new American Revolution!

I hate how people are trying to bash on it for this or that ... the truth is, just like in life, SL is what you make of it. If you sit on your rump, don't expect to be waited on hand and foot. But if you get up off it and do something you have a real shot at becoming something truly great!

Go Secondlife!!

You got the date and country wrong.

I thought MUDs, MUSHs, D&D games and IRC have allready let you do this for the last 20 years?

Shhh. Don't bring up correct history or logic. It upsets the trolls.

Being waited on hand and foot loses a great deal of it's value if you can't lay back and take it easy while your lackeys do your bidding.

The revolution really started on June 1992 with the first edition of Snow Crash :) It just took another 10 years to begin implementing it and will probably take another 10 years to realizing it :)
