People tend to learn things the hard way. I feel that if I were to be myself on facebook, it would disservice me down the road immensely. Because I cannot be myself on facebook, any goal I may have has to be cast through an obfuscation process to strip out anything that may cause problems gaining foreign work visas, jobs anywhere, any political process that I may want to engage in to bring positive change, etc etc etc etc etc... Because I cannot be myself on facebook, it is a logical conclusion (for me) that I should not have a facebook account. So I don't. I call friends on the phone and use email, and the smaller set of more intimate friendships that I maintain are deeply satisfying and efficient.
