We had an interesting discussion about this on FB of all places today. By days end, I was again vowing to delete my FB page which FYI has only ben up since March 2011. This is the third time in 100 +/- days I have threatened to delete my page to the disconcertion of my FB friends, most of whom are old friends from junior high school whom I have become reacquainted with on FB.


However, I have met a number of like minded NEW individuals there. Now before you chastise me, I me NEW to me, not new as in just created individuals.


By days end what starte as a simple post about human rights abuses turned into a heated (for FB0 discussion, which I plan to share with you here.


Please watch the video first, than return to the thread, I think you will enjoy yourselves.....r
