Why?

Why did I leave Facebook? Well, the answer is simple, but with complications that made things too difficult to stay.

I had over 100 friends on FB and life was going swell. Then the political garbage started up. I don't mind other opinions, really, I don't. But when people start basing their opinions on lies and fears instead of truth and reality, it bugs me.

Then some friends joined a group that was basically wishing death on our President and that was the final straw for me. I couldn't just unfriend those people because I like them, but didn't need to see their crazy beliefs!

Then I read today of another crazy thing:

Basically you have no right to privacy on Facebook.

No thanks.

It's sad that you aren't on Facebook: I have to repeat all the cool links twice:
