Many of my friends question why I bother with Facebook. I tell them that I have learned enormous amounts of information on Facebook, stay in touch with friends and classmates and other people I have grown up with, and get to share my views on a variety of subjects as well as to listen and understand other people’s viewpoint that may be radically different from mine. I look at Facebook multiple times a day, and now I don’t know what I did without it! On the other hand, some of my Facebook friends have lately shown me another side of themselves over the presidential election.

Being a political science graduate, I have been following politics for fifty years and I have never seen such a level of hate and anger between the warring factions. I am just one guy but here is to hoping that the rhetoric can somehow be toned down between now and November 8th. Whoever is elected president, pray that our country can be unified in the best interest of our great nation! America is too great a country with too great a history to have us ruled by anger, fear, and hatred!
