Why I quit Facebook . . . I think

I quit Facebook a while back. At least I think I did. I have heard and read horror stories about people who THOUGHT they were "quit" or deleted, but weren't . . . I'll have to check.

Facebook was just too much of a bother for me. It probably is for anyone with a real life, IMHO. Besides, I don't care if you gave me a pig (from the Farmville game, I'm told), or got the highest score on some other game. I also don't care if you are going to the hairdresser today, or to get your nails done or any other such nonsense. First of all, if we were THAT close, you would be calling me to tell me. Secondly, it clutters up my "wall" and I can't be bothered to check several times a day and clean up. Thirdly, I guess I'm just too nice. I don't want to have to tell you that I don't want to "friend" you. And, let's face it, we all know people that we don't necessarily want other people (and family members) to know we know! Some "friends" don't know where to draw the line with their posts . . . and they are usually the same ones busy taking their feet out of theirs mouths too, right? C'mon, you know what I am talking about here . . . I can see you nodding your head! You had to delete something off your wall and you are wondering WHO saw it before you deleted it, right?! :-)

And now I am really happy that I quit Facebook because it looks like the founder is just a poor, misguided soul with too much money. He is donating $100 million dollars, isn't it, to the Newark, NJ school system because it is so bad. While we can all agree that a good education is key to a brighter future, this misguided soul is living by the mantra that if we "throw money at the problem, we can solve it." Let's see, how has that worked for our economy so far?? Hmmm? Oh, that's right, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et.al. haven't thrown ENOUGH money at the economy yet!! What was I thinking??!

I just hope there are 100 million strings attached to the Newark donation and, quite frankly that if the money does help it is not because of the actual money, but the strings. Can you hear the Dems . . . "well, look what that infusion of money did for Newark! We need it here in __________ (fill in the name of your city or town)" Just WHERE do the schools generally get operating funds?? From you and I - the taxpayer. So, up go the taxes because "more money worked for Newark, it will work here too."

Yea, Facebook is free to you and I (so far), but not worth my time and energy. Heck, look at these blog postings . . . not a lot of time for them either!
