"There's a time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest."
- Ecclesiastes 3:2
Good Day World!
There's a time and place for everything.
In the last year, I've watched FaceBook degenerate into a partisan political place where friends and family turn upon one another like crazed badgers.
It's this damn election!
I have to admit that I've been just as guilty as others who post nasty memes and try to demean those who don't agree with me.
I apologize.
There's nothing wrong with writing about politics, but there is a time and place for everything. FaceBook was not meant to be a political room where people can romp around and spout hateful partisan slogans.
FaceBook was meant to be a way to positively connect with people. Family and friends. I've discovered, and re-connected, with a lot of people since I joined.
It still brings me pleasure to see what my friends and family are doing. But it is time for me to take stand:
I will no longer post partisan crap on FaceBook.
I'll keep my political dialogue in my blog where it belongs. It's a great outlet for taking on politics in general.
I hope that others who see themselves going down that same political path I was on in FaceBook will pause, and reconsider. There's enough polarity in our society today.
Let's make FaceBook a safe - and fun - place to be again.
Time for me to walk on down the road...
