I'm with Cecil. I get extremely turned off w "friends" who automatically think their political opinions are universal. I also enjoy keeping my life private and don't want to get others' "edited" lives. I may have an account (tho I've never made a post) because I get reminders on email. The only thing is they call me Jeff. I'm fine with that.
It does have its merits though. My son was in a bad accident and has been in a coma now for 3 weeks. He is currently in a long term facility but is expected to recover---thankfully. Facebook has really helped w/arrangements and keeping everyone abreast of developments. It has also saved us from answering hundreds of calls.
