Re: Mind's Eye Re: Syria

My problem with it is that it seems counter-intuitive to how I normally communicate. For instance, I want to tell you something on a semi-public level and I still go to your profile and find that I cannot contact you. I need to go back to my profile, say what I want to say, then define that I want to say this to you and then press the send button. Only then I realize that I am facebook and non-American socialized, which makes it twice as difficult to want to adapt to new realities. Not being able to find the edit button for my public statements to change to not public anymore made me ask what I was doing there. Another valley of frustrations which I am supposed to see as challenges...
