Evil Facebook?

Facebook gets unfairly criticized. Facebook isn’t bad. It’s neutral. Like money, food, or coffee. It can be used or abused. (Wait. Coffee is always good.)

Posting opinions? Expect push back. And don’t argue. Nobody changes their mind. Ever. Okay, except Carpenters music. I changed my mind about that.

Yes, we look good on “The Book.” We know nobody’s lives are perfect. We don’t post about kids’ poor choices, spousal arguments, or uncut grass. Same reason we smile for pictures, practice hygiene, and wear pants. We want to be presentable.

And yes, we’re hopelessly proud of our kids. So we post.

Facebook’s fine. It’s just a communication tool. Fun for some, pointless for others. So use it, or don’t.

But don’t shoot the messenger!
