I hate Facebook

(This is the whole, uncut content of my last posting on my facebook page. I don't even want to go into all the hassles that I had to do to break it up into modules of the character size that facebook allows. Or speculate how long it will last once facebook realizes that it was an anti-facebook posting.)

Hi to all my facebook friends who jumped over here after reading my last posting. You really are my friends and I really do like you, but I HATE FACEBOOK! so do not take it personal. (That incredibly stupid question party game thing really topped it for me.)
I encourage all of you to communicate with me through my blog, my website, and email.
http://worldpeacealgorithm.blogspot.com and
My website
buck@matterofmail.doc
moono@seawolf.sonoma.edu
buck @peacemoon.org
Also I highly recommend two good books for your edification,
"You Are Not a Gadget" by Jaron Lanier and
"Program or be Programmed" by Douglas Rushkoff.
Plus watch this very enlightening video about facebook and google's hidden agenda:
Watch this great TED.com interview with Eli Praiser
These are NOT Luddite, anti-cyberspace books. They are written by guys in the high-tech field who are explaining why the promise of the global internet revolution has been betrayed by the dumbing down of content by these stupider-than-thou (my expletive) social networks that make you do things you wouldn't do if you were using your own blog or designed your own website.
READ AND WATCH ALL THE ABOVE NOW BEFORE FACEBOOK MAKES IT ALL DISAPPEAR.
