I found this funny in an awkward “what can I do but laugh” way for this reason: when pre-Civil War tensions were running high in the years leading upto the first shot fired, slavery-supporters also often turned to the Old Testament Bible for proof in order to defend their positions and opinions. With that said, can we try to save some morsel of dignity for our First Amendment and save the dignity of our holy books in the same process?  In the case of New York’s decision, I agree; its not about religion, I believe its a matter of law. Yes, the Bible’s first marriage was the union of Adam and Eve (it was the first holy union for the book I read, as well), but that does not mean that a state’s legislative ruling or even a federal legislative ruling, for that matter, is mandated to concur with the beliefs of any particular religion (see the First Amendment). I’ll ignore the fact that the context of the opinion given is completely mismatched with the tone of article in the link. I just feel pity for the person who believed that this poorly-written rant fits the bill of her/his own thoughts well enough for the person to hit “share.” As a straight man who believes the bond of marriage is for every human to be able to consider, I say let them eat their wedding cake in peace.

Losing a few people won’t hurt Facebook, which has more than 400 million registered members, most of them oblivious to the debate over privacy. In fact, I suspect Facebook will end up being to this decade what Microsoft was to the 1990s—an ever-more-powerful company with tentacles that reach into everything. I also suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning. Which is why I’m considering deactivating my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m freaked by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.

I only see one flaw in this quote: Facebook technically just wants your name, email address and birthday (which you can choose not to show publicly) in order to set up an account. The rest of the information, like your address, and phone number is optional. So doesn’t this make whatever privacy issues raised by facebook users self-inflicted rather than the fault of facebook?
