    ... telling the truth?

    Zuck is a programmer and has no strength on the business side.

    And it's not like we have a decent immigration law on the books already that congress refused to fund.

    It's not attitude, it's experience.

    I helped bring the Internet into the world and I saw the very first occurrences of spam.

    When people realized that the Internet was attracting eyeballs, the money changers hit and it's exploded since then.

    Efforts to control that are like pissing in the wind.

    Facebook could spend more time/money educating its membership regarding the difference between bullshit and wild honey.

    Most people have grown up with the Internet and it's incorrect to suggest that they are duped.

    We don't fall for propaganda -- we embrace it and love it and feed it -- and we amplify whatever fits our world view.
