I am tired of Face Book

It seems that every where you go you have to be a member of Face Book in order to post something online.  I am sure that the owners of Face Book are happy about their success, but they are in fact forming what amounts to be their own "country." It seems to me just to be a big power grab and while it is a "service" so is the likes of the US federal government, and we all know how that thing works, or doesn't.  People get caught up in fads that they do not pay much attention to reality.  They will stand in line to buy a new electronic item or even worse all night to get the first seats in a movie that is much hyped even if it is done well.  The media will be sure to notice all this and give it further energy, but that is what the media does.
Remember it was the media that first suggested that gasoline prices would be above four dollars by May and perhaps hit five dollars. This  gave the speculators all the incentives they needed under the guise of worrying about Iran.
Yes, we are becoming media junkies.  While the INTERNET has supplied us with many great benefits, "take overs" with demands that this service is "required" is intellectual communism at its worse.  Go ahead and be a slave to some "service" if you will.  In the long run there are sure to be many good consequences and a lot of bad ones.  Is compromise really worth it in the end?  Am I the only one in the world not on Face Book?  Who really cares?  I certainly do not.
