Wow, everyone on FB seems intent on raising my blood pressure tonight. Someone posted that 2007 photo of President Obama where he doesn't have his hand over his heart during the National Anthem, and a person I have known previously as gentle and kind called him a pig. Someone else called Spike Lee a terrorist for tweeting the (incorrect) George Zimmerman address and insinuated that the President speaking out about Trevon Martin is "supporting terrorism." Someone else posted a picture of President Obama with...I don't even remember except there was a tall stack of Legos involved and he was supposed to be saying that he was going to take half of them and give them to kids who had been napping all afternoon.

I just closed that tab and have intentions of staying away until I can bear it again.

You need a G+ account. From what I've seen over there, at least the people are reasonable in their discussions. There's a level of maturity you don't seem to find anymore anywhere on FB. Now you can still find some real winners, don't get me wrong - they're everywhere - but for the most part people seem to think before they post.

I'll have to check that out! Oofah, so much social media, so little time for...other media. ;)
