facebook as meth

If only the US will ban facebook like China does, I can accomplish more in a day. I will have time to do the laundry, dry the wash out in the clotheslines rather than just toss them inside the dryer, clean the bathroom, buff my new leather boots to a mirror shine, watch more online episodes of Criminal Minds, catch more criminals in my head, read the complete Millennium trilogy of the late Swede creative genius and journalistic god, Stieg Larsson rather than just be stuck on the twentieth page of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

I would have time to study dragons, research tattoo designs, and read more about psychopathic girls.

But as it is, facebook is the ultimate opiate in my own little parcel of American soil. It is an addictive opiate to American youth and old-timers much like religion is the opiate of the masses, as was so eloquently stated by Karl Marx.

Facebook is my own brand of crystal meth, and I will continue to inhale its destructive fumes as long as my modem is working. If my internet service provider crashes, I may curse and rant the service to high heavens, but later in the day, you bet that pile of dirty laundry is gone!
