Half of my 50 FB friends I reconnected with through my elementary school group. I hadn't seen, heard, nor spoken to them in more than 30 years. It was nice to reunite through FB. I even made a trip back home and visited a few. Very cool.

Then one guy posts something hatefully anti-Obama then ridiculous along the lines, "Keep your hands off my guns!" He then changed his profile picture from someone I'd recognize even today, to himself holding to assault riffles!! Guh...

Instant unfriend.

Another now lives in Arizona. I wish I could recall more of the details, but in the end, she was open-minded, and listens to both sides and makes up her own mind, but damnit, Obama's spending is out of control!!! That was it! LOL She's good people, though. Just ignorant/dumb.
