People might ask me after all the revelations about Facebook why I still use it. The answer is easy:

Education.

Today, for example, I learned that Emma Gonzalez wore a "commie patch" and "wants to give guns to repressive countries."

Yeah, you try to decipher that one. I dare you.

And if you go to Little Havana--hardly a hotbed of pro-Castro sentiment--you'll find Cuban flags everywhere.

Seriously, I can't believe people are that stupid.

Mine is fairly politics-free, except for my DU friends - and I enjoy those political posts. All good.

I'm still scratching my head, however, as to how or why Emma Gonzalez supposedly wants to give guns to repressive countries.
