    money

    Let?s just all agree that the issue here isn?t the issue. Money is the issue. Every big corporation walks the line of legality in its pursuit of profits. That means it is going to travel ?plus or minus? the path of that which is legal and occasionally step over the line, like in the case of: Does facebook require parental consent to sign up for its services, and if not, does it bother to get parental consent to use minors to like or dislike ads, and does that even constitute breaking the law? As stupid as this all is, it?s just a classic case of poor people rising up against rich people, when the rich people get just a little too rich. I am as laissez-faire as they come, but the fact is people who feel oppressed will lash out at people who seem to have too much. It?s just that before, as in way before, when people lashed out against the rich, it was to keep from starving to death, so it looked honorable. Now, when people lash out against the rich, it?s to buy a second _______ (pick your superfluous non-necessity) and we all roll our eyes and wonder ?What is wrong with America?? Which is why no one writes a modern day Robin Hood screenplay. Who wants to see a movie where a greedy little bad guy sues the big corporate bad guy, then laughs all the way to the bank and seems to live happily ever after? Then the audience thinks to itself ?wow good message?wait who?s paying for all these lawsuits? Oh right, we are.?

    lawsuits

    I hope Jesus comes back soon. I can't take much more of this.
