Black Tuesday: We’ll Never Forget Where We Were

Black Tuesday: We'll Never Forget Where We WereDallas, Nov. 22, 1963 ... Challenger ... the tsunami. Days that will live in infamy.

Sept. 5, 2006. Never forget.

The silver lining -- if the horror of Facebook News Feed can even be said to have one -- is that our generation has finally found common ground. Something to unite us, even in blackest tragedy. There are no red states today, no blue states; the pre-med knows the lit major is his brother, and yea, the state school shall lay down with the private.

Iraq, Katrina -- nothing!! Black Tuesday, as it shall be known in hush'd sorrow forevermore, is the crucible in which our generation will be forged.

    I guess I’m the only one who… kinda likes the news feed. As long as we have the option to turn it off, or at least certain aspects (ie – when I DE-friend someone…), I’m cool. It was all public anyway. Now it’s just centralized.

    Why thank you…Somebody who bloody agrees with me. For all of you saying it makes stalking easy…It was easy in the first place. This just makes life easier for all of us. If you want to avoid stalkers, USE THE FRIGGIN PRIVACY SETTINGS!

    News feed rocks. We’re all merely part of of the feed. The feed is all.

    Ok, I’m a sick bastard, but you’ve got to mention Sept 11th in one of those days. Come on!
