Gary,
So I shouldn't be putting all my problems on Facebook for everyone to solve for me?

Don't say that stuff. I still have my delusions that you can save these people from themselves.
I have Facebook to keep in touch with friends/family, but I have it locked down so only people on my list can see my information.
I also keep a very low profile of pictures/info on there and use the messaging feature or my e-mail to send stuff to friends/family.
Once it's posted, it's out there for life and thus should be treated with respect IMO.
I went for a Job interview a little while back and on the second interview I was asked if I had a Facebook account.
It's comical that entire generations can be blamed for the actions of fiat electorates that were pushed to drive agendas. All I'm going to say is that the greatest generation (no offense meant to these great people that suffered unimaginable pain and burdens) could be blamed for letting the US's gold spoils from WWI and WWII to leave Fort Knox via federal reserve collateral. The only thing that I blame the boomers for is protesting Vietnam actions less than they did the executive branch's changes to the US's monetary and free trade policies. Boomers and genX also have missed out on blocking the EU and NAFTA/GAT. On the other hand I love getting crude oil (trying to keep it relevant to the forum here ok) at price plus unregulated speculation LOL!

I think you meant to say "more" protesting over the Vietnam war and none over the end of the Fair Trade laws and the going off of the gold standard.
We needed the end to the Fair Trade laws. Our own were screwing us even more with limited goods and totally lousy quality ..especially with cars ..in both engineering and assembly. Competition made US manufacturers (of cars in particular) change for the better.
OTOH, it both created and destroyed our consumer electronics. You had to dedicate a good chunk of coin for an upscale American stereo ..and you still do.
What should have been done is "controlled growth" in trade imbalances, but I think that the genius of the whole thing was stuff like securing agreements that oil be traded in US$$ and that our ag sector get heavily subsidized to make them the backbone of our export support. All nations needed dollars to pay for their petroleum ..and were driven out of business to feed themselves.
Not a bad strategy, but it sure would have been nice to have the evolutions occur at a slower pace. But that would "get in the way" of growth and money making ..and ...well, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs...
Funny how those who send humans into the meat grinder profess that they do it for "the greater good" ..but they're conspicuously never on the receiving end of the carnage.

Most of the 60's crowd became hyper materialistic as they aged (the former President and his wife immediately come to mind).
When G*D was taken out of schools people lost their moral compass.
Social Security was a good idea but our politicians spent
the money (buying votes) and now its broke.
Unfortunately, I'm not very optimistic about Americas future.
Amen Brother, Amen.
It's not a laughable comment at all, its sad and true.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear - sprintman's response to the above comment was the laughable part. I'm not taking a stance on the God in our schools argument. No offense to anybody was intended. I just think it's funny when somebody uses the word 'wank.' We don't hear that much in Texas.
