The Nature of The Louse





i like facebook, i really do. i like running into theater friends from years ago, revitalizing memories long stuffed away in the archives....i suppose it's pretty amazing that it took as long as it did before someone came 'round trying to stir up political mayhem....someone who disagrees with my stated politics, slim as that statement is on facebook, who decided to try to rub me the wrong way....so i deleted the louse. what an incredibly stupid thing to do on such a flimsy, cream-filled website as facebook: people go there to post thousands of photos of themselves, to reunite with old friends, to PLAY.....why this guy thought it would be good to get confrontational in honor of the upcoming inauguration of our 44th president is beyond me. i ditched the louse and yet i feel oddly prompted to make a statement out into the ether: i do NOT think Obama is the New Messiah; i do NOT look at the inauguration as the CORONATION; i fully expect more of the same....i'm just glad we as a country saw a sweeping victory for african americans....IT WAS ABOUT TIME! that's all. and i like him, true enough: and i wish him well, our new president. i don't expect him to change the world as we know it, but i believe he will give it his best try......i know he won't wear a crown as he goes about his business as president....it would only get in the way when he has to scratch his head and rub his aching brain as he tries to fix our nation...

good luck President Obama.....and good riddance to the louse who tried to start it up on facebook.....really: that's like picking on a small child, taking combative politics to facebook.

GET STUFFED you LOUSE...
