Not all of them, of course. Most of my friends are actually pretty smart. Facebook is a wonderful utility for keeping in touch with friends, acquaintances, and people I don't really remember at all, but sometimes I think it tells me too much. For instance, I would prefer to ignore the fact that some of the people with whom I associate are evangelical Bible-thumpers. I would also like to think that my friends are too smart to believe that, by boycotting a certain gas station, they can lower the price of gas overall. Some of those same friends also apparently have a problem with free speech, and have joined groups expressing that sentiment. People will join groups for any reason, too. One of my friends joined a group objecting to a Chipotle opening next door to a Qdoba.

I guess I shouldn't expect so much. I mean, I already had a pretty good sense that these people weren't the sharpest knives in the rainbow (don't think about it - your head will explode). It's just sad that people believe and care about this crap. I'm not going to spend more time on this. It's funny when you're in a good mood, but if you let it piss you off, it's annoying.
