I never used Facebook as a personal diary the way so many people do. I use its instant messaging to stay in touch with my son
when we're not talking by telephone or visiting; I use it to keep track of local events and musicians (I have a blues band of my
own now and it's one way to get word out and even find possible gigs); I use the instant messaging to stay in touch with other
friends and relatives scattered around the country, but that's about it. I've never used it as a news source.
But I still think the government needs to keep its cotton pickin' hands the hell off. Because the one sure thing I know is that,
whatever's wrong with Facebook, the government will make it worse. And not know what it's doing while they're at it.
