Just another mania; check the link: Tulip Mania This might also be useful: Popular Delusions Not really. Indonesia is 2nd in terms of user population and the UK's % of FB users in the total population is close to the US. Brazil added another 4.75 million just last week and it looks like Vietnamese dig it too and you don't have to dig much to see it's popular in the Middle East. It's just another permutation on the methods of communication and it's up to you on how to use it or not. I don't have cable TV nor a cell phone (no CB radio either) but I use FB, so we all have differences on how to use this stuff. Hollywood films have a distinctly American flavor to them but are picked up all over the world. I just see FB as a form of Rotarianism run amock.

I think Hitchens was profoundly wrong about Iraq, but I always enjoyed his witty, incisive manner of discussion, which was satisfyingly free of cliches, PC, and the sort of inarticulateness that is the lingua franca of American public discussion. He followed the Brit tradition of the curmudgeon, but always it seemed with a bit of a wink. Anyway, I am sorry to see him go.

I have no interest in FB. Seems like a weird mania to me; something akin to the Dutch tulip craze of long ago. Although this craze has a distinctly American flavor to it, like some gigantic, ritualized form of Rotary Club type back-slapping. Anyway, glad some enjoy it, like it, use it for business, pleasure, whatever. I absolutely feel no need for it; indeed, the idea of signing up makes me rather ill to contemplate it.

Not a chance.

Definitely not cool.

LOL, maybe the guy will settle for a life time supply of lattes. Anyway, he does not deserve the prize; he should take the latte if offered.

I'm thinking this thread is evidence item #1 why jazz isn't cool anymore.
