Human Nature

 So in 1999 the Fairfield teachers Union went on strike because they said the contract was unacceptable . They were upset with the small pay increase and a clause in the contract that allowed them to be accused of whatever yet never be able to face their accuser . When the local media asked the teachers and the union reps they made it very clear this was not about the money it was about the "accuser clause". The strike went on and the school district finally gave in on the clause and removed it from the contract. That is when the teachers and their union made it clear what the strike was really about, it was the money, they wanted more money, they didnt give a crap about the clause, it was about the money. So when someone says its not about the money, it is about the money.

Facebook intrigue

So now I am going to crack on Facebook for how people use it. Recently I saw it used as a form of "alibi". It was very entertaining to say the least. The person had used old photos of an "event" and mixed them with photos they knew were "current" in order to pull off their sham. The only way anyone would have known is that on the the day the "supposed photos" were taken there was a very big fire to the south ( which is the direction of the photos)sending up plumes of smoke to the south of the location, what the photos showed was the standard bay area fog( which means it was probably a morning photo) and no plumes of smoke. Facebook is like any other social situation, liars lie, cheaters cheat, bullshitters bullshit, and chumps fall for all the nonsense. I keep my account open just in case one of my old friends actually entertains the thought that I may be on there, most of my older friends knowing how I am probably would be shocked to find me on that social network, but WTF, I will drop out when I need to. You can also see that people spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get people to see them in a certain fashion, so to me it appears  they spend a lot of time on the internet trying to find clever quips that back their views. Hello people you have a mind of your own voice whats on YOUR mind not some tripe some dumb ass has regurgitated for you. I have one friend who actually uses Facebook to express herself, all the rest spend time rehashing lawn fertilizer. I imagine some people use Facebook properly, I have friends in West Virginia who use it regularly and they use it about as properly as you could imagine, mostly family, hunting, fishing, veteran, military updates. In  California, shockingly, everything is shallow: shopping, internet tripe, fashion, status. Facebook may as well be Ashly Madison in California the way messaging is used, too funny. Thats enough time dedicated to a social network that many people use including myself, just a personal observation.
