Great post! I was away from FB for two years and really didn’t miss it. The only reason I reactivated my account was to promote my blog (which I’m still trying to figure out). Happy blogging!

Now the story gets a ‘Where is Waldo’ touch. Nice! No discussions about the issues at hand. And the new ‘leaks’ are all about spy stuff. Who cares if the US is spying on China’s cell phone network. I bet everybody is doing it, but just the US/UK got caught.
He will end up in some South American country, the beacon of democracy and freedom.

I really wish he’d just own up. How about a 100% frank statement like, “Yeah, I ran on a platform of XYZ and still think it’s important, but the stuff I see… man… if we didn’t have this information we’d be screwed, and I’m not about to give it up. I won’t be taking questions. Bye!”

A LOT of Obama supporters are really disappointed with him and I don’t blame them. And we’re definitely WAY past the “but Bush was the one who…” phase. Obama has had 5 years to straighten things out.

I think the public will go to ‘business-as-usual’ pretty quick here. C’om, there is TV to watch and Facebook to update. For me personally, this ‘scandal’ highlights the biggest disappointment of the Obama regime, which is continuing the policies of the Bush era. I mean, we still have a jail full of people locked up for years without trial, we kill ‘terrorists’ at will all over the world, without trial or any legal procedure.
The story makes for strange bedfellows, though. When else did you hear Glenn Beck and Michael Moore call the guy a hero?
I still have hope that this will stir some debate we should have had 10 years ago.

Jim – Loved reading your thoughts and think you are really brave! Enjoy the time with Ben, both of you will get a lot of rewards from spending this time together. It will certainly ease Angela back into work nicely knowing that Ben is at home with you. Look forward to reading more! Could be the next bestseller…. Adventures of Jim and Ben It’s disappointing that the US stilll hasn’t recognised that Stat Maternity leave should be longer. In Sweden Mum’s are entitled to for 1 years paid Maternity leave! Big hugs to the 3 of you xxx

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. I suspected there were others who shared my sentiments about Facebook.

I hope for everyone’s sake that the blog remains active and interesting.
