How come?

Another one of those pulled from the closet that is the drafts queue...

I realized one of the reasons I don’t like any of the social network crap. I’m not on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. The only place I allow for any kind of networking is professionally via LinkedIn and like other social networks they have a feed where you can see updates from the people in your network.

Yesterday, someone in my network posted something particularly inane -

Update: Happy Birthday America!

Translation – Give me your attention because I am one of the attention deprived. I’m needy!

And this was on what is supposed to be a business networking site! It beggars the imagination! This is the equivalent of a non observation, Better put in these terms... IF you haven'’t looked at your calendar, IF you haven’t recognized the fact you have the day off, IF you don’t know what day it is, IF the fireworks going off weren’t a clue! Please let me remind you that it’s the Fourth of July.

And for that matter is the person wishing the entire population of the country happy birthday? Is there some kind of disembodied great spirit of the country he is offering up thanks to?

Hey buddy, how about a sacrifice while you’re at it?

Sheeeeeessssshhhhh!
