I've got to not read this paper- it just infuriates me half the time. I was at a diner having dinner and decided to read the copy someone left in the booth.
This article was by some woman going on and on about how terrible Facebook is and about having embarrassing photos of yourself posted, etc. The more I read it, it became clear to me that this person is a bit on the paranoid side and she is ashamed of whatever it is she does.
I actually brought this part of the paper home so I could write a letter to the editor and then left it in my jeans pocket and washed it and, oh well, I'm sure as hell not going out to get another paper, hence this rant!
I enjoy the hell out of Facebook. I've been in touch with people I've not seen in 35 years and love getting to know them again and how they're doing. In this crazy world it is a joy to see what your friends are up to because there often just isn't enough time for a call or text. Next,if you don't know it by now you need to learn it- NEVER do anything you don't want people to know about because someone always finds out. Rather, be comfortable in your own skin and if a friend posts a photo of you drunk or whatever, big deal- its not the end of the world, no children have been hurt and by god, you're human and thats ok.
So to this writer I would say, " Get some professional help and learn to be ok with yourself, unless of course you're a serial killer and that's so not cool!"

Mainstream news media outrage me on a regular basis. In fact your one of my favorite people to be infuriated with over a cocktail.
