It's a virtual gathering place. It's fantastic for seeing the side of your kids they don't let their folks see.
Facebook is actually a government data mining tool created by the FBI used to collect information about people. It became much more popular than they ever imagined, resulting in the largest information gathering project even concieved. Who ever thought that people would willingly complie and share their information with the government? Pics, interests, etc...
LOL!
Well... I post a lot of anti-government stuff on my fb, especially any/everything to do with Homeland (in)Security, the TSA (MAN they've really put a bug up my butt!), non-GMO/organic/CSA-type links... what else? Diving news. Everything about PG&E being assholes I can find. A little rambling, but I try not to do that.
Funny, my ex-husband recently removed me from his friends list. Must have been something I said.... :D
In any event, USdotgov's been collecting data
long before Al invented the internets. I can't be that old that I remember the assloads of mail I received whenever I A) gave birth; B) bought property; C) took out a loan; D) got another credit card. FB is the
least of it. :D The moment a person does something like run for a seat in government, you had better bet your
ass there's a file on that person from that moment on.
But I can't see myself sitting here playing Pot Farm. That bubblewrap game is
much, much better.
