I would never join Facebook or My Space for this very reason- or Twitter, etc. Have had some nice correspondence in the last nine years but that was through political forums- have also had some insulting nut cases follow me about. // Real life isn't so bad. :-) Went on a great date Friday night- opening of the symphony season- skipped the block party Saturday- cheered the Vikings win on Sunday and then learned of William Safire's death, sadly.// Why worry about giving "offense"?
