Ok so facebook. While made for students apparently it's now being adapted to draw in the older generations with the goal of plugging them in. Now I don't know how to feel about this because I'm still a young person but at the same time I see how great a networking tool this can be. To be able to track down old friends and such it makes sense to open it up. Plus, it's run by a company so of course there has to be some degree of profitability with this change. So while I see how it's a good thing, I know at the same time that it's a signal of change. Well, seeing as how I don't know what to say on the matter, I'm opening it to you. So everyone who reads this: tell me what you think!
In other news, in the local newspaper today somebody referenced the trade of Israeli bodies for Lebanese soldiers and how we have to appreciate the whole "judeo christian interests" in the middle east. Well, I have nothing against religion (ok not entirely true but a discussion for another time), but I do have a problem with our blind support of Israel. In this case, yes we should support Israel because of the unfair trade that was made, but it is not because of the relgious beliefs of the people. It is a bad policy to base your political actions on the beliefs of certain citizens and their faith. Note: I am not against Israel, I am however against the blind support that the government of the United States has put in them in so many political areas. I don't want to end support for allies but at some point Israel has to fend for themselves without the threat of American Power subduing their enemies. Also, What exactly is Israel giving in return for such support? I don't know, once again, I call upon you (the readers) to enlighten me! So yes, This is the time for you to write responses and let me know!
