“I did a lot of talking on Facebook, which I now realize was wasted…”
Lew Bryson, apologizing for allowing Why The PLCB Should Be Abolished to go silent for over six months, especially in light of the current, maybe last, effort to change the existing laws. Hopefully, more and more serious people will awaken to the debilitating effect of Facebook (and, to a lesser extent, Twitter) on serious discussion and exchange of ideas.
If you haven’t been paying attention to the current goings-on in this regard in Harrisburg, you should check it out. Beer is now in the mix in terms of changing the rules and there are a lot of implications to that we should all be aware of.

And yet…I discovered this post via a Tweet posted to FB…
That’s exactly what I believe to be the best professional use of Facebook, to direct or lead readers to lengthier and more complex commentary and to provide an anchor point to which both author and readers can return to the conversation readily. It’s when writers make social media a primary outlet that it all goes awry. I’d suggest this it especially true in the case of an advocacy site like Why The PLCB etc. Lew’s remark seems to validate that argument.
Look up “vacuous” online and you’ll get a link to Facebook.
