Fraking Facebook - Log Out Now

facebook icon

I'm sick of Facebook Trolls.

They claim to be Americans, but I'm not so sure. I think the fraking Communists have taken over Facebook.

There's only one thing to do in a case like this -- Log Out.

Here's why I'm so fraking pissed off:

We live in a country where damn near every politician has signed the Grover Norquist pledge for No New Taxes. Making ANY changes to security in our schools is going to cost money. But there isn't any money -- there won't be any money because we just had the biggest tax cut in history.

So there will be no help from the Federal OR State government for the schools. NONE -- ZERO -- ZIP DOLLARS.

So let's get real. No new taxes, no money for the public schools. The 1% already has their offspring in private schools, they aren't going to pay for school security for the 99%. (See The Grover Norquist Pledge.)

I got pissed off because the Trolls and the Idiots on Facebook are pushing to arm teachers and they are jumping anyone who says it's the job of the police to protect taxpayers and future taxpayers from armed gunmen.

No - these Trolls are pushing us to reinvent the wheel. They want the Teachers(!) armed with guns like some kind of private security firm to patrol the halls of our schools. (So who's teaching the kids while the teachers are on patrol?)

They don't want to PAY for these guns, or this training. Just like they don't want to pay for school lunches and school supplies. Wouldn't school life be better for everyone if PUBLIC schools had the money to provide lunches and supplies for ALL students?

Not gonna happen because rich people are sucking all the resources out of the economy and not paying their fair share of taxes. But you can't tell anyone that, they're all stirred up by Trolls.

It's a Troll's Dreamland on Facebook.

I logged out the first time the day of the shooting and I've logged out for most of the day since. I can't quit cold turkey, but I'm gonna see if I can get off Facebook and stay off Facebook for good.


A Very Old Memory

After school at West Junior High I took the bus to West 5th Street. I checked in at the Leeward, where Opal was working behind the bar, ta...
