On the Home Front

Okay, so I'm not in China now, but I soon will be, and so I figured that I could go ahead and start writing again.  Either way a summary of the past seven weeks in Hendersonville seems in order.  But it's late and I'm tired to let me just give you the abstract: Family=Madness.  Ok now we can move on to more important China-related topics, like Facebook being banned there.  The life-blood of Generation...er...Y has been plugged by the Dragon.

Finnnaaallllly! 

I mean, you'd have thought they'd never get around to censoring something that should be censored. YouTube?  Come on!  You call yourself a socialist government and yet you block the greatest proletarian revolution in media?  Blogspot?  Blogs are just diaries that you want people to read.  Nobody really cares about them.  But Facebook may be the single most harmful thing on the internet right now.  Not only does it make it easier for people to tell you everything you never wanted to know about them, it also allows employers, enemies, ex-girlfriends, and the US Government to find out things about you that normally they would have to pay for.  And this says nothing about the complete alienation paradox this whole internet-networking thing creates.  We can know everything about someone while never actually conversing--you know, that talking thing where you ask meaningful questions and get sincere responses?

Ok, I promise I'm done ranting for the mom--HOW IN HEAVEN'S NAME CAN SOMEONE CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIAN AND YET OPPOSE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE?!?!

Sorry, I don't know where that came from...probably best to just end it there.

Leb Wohl.
