Avram's journal

Also, Facebook is where Mom and your boss occasionally come by for coffee. It's closer to "public space" than anywhere else on the Internet. (Obviously most of the Internet is public to a degree, but I feel Facebook is more so because my whole social network hangs out there.) I try to be polite and only post the least snarky, most factually-grounded political posts I can stand. I don't know if FB politics is crap because it's so widely used, or because only the shameless and loudmouthed feel comfortable putting angry political rants up for the grandmothers to read. (No offense intended, of course, for those friends of mine who DO post angry political rants on FB.)
