Probably not a good idea to use Facebook to call out people you have differences with on. Perhaps you succeed in embarrassing them, however, why make us aware of your own bad judgement, etc.?
I have unfriended a lot of people owing to the drama roll I see when looking at the newsfeed. It gets very tiresome.

I Moved the family to New Hampshire three weeks ago. I am happy. We celebrated the 4th at Holman Stadium in Nashua and were able to enjoy music and fireworks as close as it gets' in years past we struggled to get a good spot on a hill in Larz Anderson Park to watch the proceedings from about 6 miles away. Today I got my driver's license in under 30 minutes and drove back to the office in another 30. The state may appear crowded judging on southbound traffic during early morning rush hour. Yet it is not, life is pleasant and neighbors were quick to greet us on our first day in town. I lived for 5 years in Newton and was never greeted by neighbors in my building except for some actually returning my good mornings.
I like not paying state income tax yet having great roads to drive on, decent schools, parks, etc. I realize I have only been here for a short while, the scale is my speed. I have no need for throngs of people. Did NYC, now it's my time.
Se me ocurrio anoche el pensamiento. Jugadores de naciones en situaciones de zozbra economica, algunos acercandose a los 25 anyos, otros grandes estrellas de sus ligas locales - ganando migajas al lado de los gladiadores de Barcelona, Chelsea or Juventus. Llegan con otra ilusion a este Mundial. Llegan a exhibirse, a mostrar sus talentos que sirvan de obtener un contrato que los saque de la pobreza, de la violencia de sus tierras natales. No se diferencian mucho de las chicas que son exhibidas en sotanos de Ljubliana o Bucarest antes de ser escogidas por tratantes de Fort Lauderdale o Vienna... Asi es la vida, Gente con esperanzas grandes, ilusiones de grandeza y aquellos prestos a sacar provecho. La basura de muchos el oro de otro - Segunda Division en un villorio Ingles es preferible a el anonimato en un cacerio de Nigeria. Pero el fracaso de la seleccion, la eliminacion prematura arrostra los suenyos, retardan el estrellato y disminuyen la probabilidad. Poco le importa a Drogba que la Costa de Marfil haya fracasado pues estando tranquilamente anidado en Londres, muchos de sus congeneres regresan al pueblito a las casuchas de Abidjan, a la carencia de agua, a la muerte acechante. Para ellos el fracaso cobra un precio mayor, quizas el de la vida.
So Aruba's justice system failed a Peruvian woman. She paid for their ineptitude with her life. Two woman killed by this heartless, cold blooded snake who enjoyed the protection of his father the first time around. This is sickening. As a parent I am sad to see this. Why did another person have to die?
As life ticks on, it is apparent that I am learning to enjoy the days with more intensity. Today I am in Lafayette, Louisiana for the first time in my life and back in LA for the first time in about 35 years. The heat reminded me of Houston summers, the humidity was thick and it was great to see a Borden's Ice Cream parlor - strange? I had just told my son about how my Mom used to buy a gallon of ice cream and the brand was Borden's. That was yesterday.... We went to Don's for dinner. Not really being able to eat 90% of the menu did not bother me. The grilled flounder was excellent. Had some Abita beer (the local beer) which was great. Feel like I will have a great time sleeping tonite.
