(12,882 posts)one can just not partake. I'm BACK on FB because there's an interest group (writing) that landed there after a site specific to that craft crashed. Otherwise, I wouldn't be there. Not that I'm paranoid, but I actually hold dear, my anonymity to some degree. Today's generation thinks it's all so cool to have as many "followers" as they can get.

I live in the country - with a pretty private back yard. I like having the freedom of being able to take a whiz next to a tree rather than going into the house to do so and wasting the flush of water that would be required. On the other hand, I would not like to find my image up for laughs on someone's personal page or YouTube - and yet I think that is where so much of this is headed.
