Facebook WARNING... Do This or That or it will EXPLODE


Minions love to post, copy, share, post, copy share... Like lemmings playing with their shiny electronic boxes (with apologies to The Police "synchronicity) 

As I sit here this morning I see that many have posted this "privacy warning" to Facebook. Well la-te-da, sorry when you signed on for this great wonder of the modern world called Facebook you gave them permission to do whatever they wish with your page. Every month there is a new "privacy warning" telling us some dog in Kathmandu said, "time will end if you don't post and copy this to your page". Facebook, they own your page, not you, and will post whatever advertising they want to to make you click and look, see, buy. Your internet provider or cell phone company owns your service not you, you are a renter, a tenant if you will on the information super highway. So when you click on some game or app, you are becoming a borrower of it. You owe it now, regardless of how much you pay. You owe it and it wants not your soul, but the next thing closest to it, your privacy. So please think.



The internet has become something most cannot live without. It is both a hero and villain. It gives you whatever you may desire, be it good or bad, at a moments notice. But you must realize that it is public, when you post something on here people see it, if you don't want someone to know your business, then why do you post? 


What do you think Thomas Jefferson would think if he wrote a set of the Bill of Rights today? We have become a society in which we think times are so bad now. Well sorry to inform you, they are about the same as they were 100 years ago, (apocalypse people insert comments here), the level of depravity and violence is about the same, possibly worse in 1914. The debauchery is close to the same, and the other vices of this life are the same. Don't believe me? Check it out. The difference? 


Now we have this age of virtual news, a pathway of information that flows non-stop giving us instantaneous access to any tidbit of information we want. 


So remember, time repeats itself. Privacy, well privacy is what YOU decide.
