One has to be naïve to believe most of what they read on the internet--even on Facebook.  Especially on Facebook, if you "friend" only those with whom you are friendly, know personally or at least are aware of who, what and where about them usually you're okay.  I'm going crazy right now over Facebook postings that may or may not be true from unknown news organizations or quasi-news that I cannot find a way to stop.  I've gone into their websites hoping to find an "unsubscribe" and there never is one.  I just continue to delete, delete am now am tired of them.  Their news is often old news, is often non-news and usually suspect news.

It's a mix, unfortunately, that allows the demagogues to get their way.  I guess part of my problem not being able to understand how a part of a state can overcome the will of the rest of the state is having lived in northern Virginia most of  my adult life.  Although the first several years living in Arlington the schools were still segregated and it and Fairfax County were pretty much rural hick towns.  I grew up along with those counties and the federal government, realizing at some point that good things are happening in the area.  With the coming of the internet and other high tech industries flowing into particularly Fairfax County the good times rolled.  The few farms left in Arlington County quickly disappeared and development of business parks and homes left Fairfax County losing it's close-in farmland. It was a great life living in that area but I left after retiring in 1999 because of too many people and waaay too many cars.  I now live in northern York County and returning back to PA after living in a wealthy, metropolitan area for so many years is like living again in the 1950 in so many ways. I try to understand how N. C. and other states can be so broken because living in Pennsylvania has many areas just like North Carolina and those other states. Less educated, but hard working peoples who have difficult times understanding the rest of us, just as we, too, can't figure them out.

They are but what surprises me is with all the educational facilities and tech companies located in N. C. I assumed there was sufficient educated, higher class voters that stuff like this wouldn't happen there.
 

You got it right--Chief Twitt! 

Toomey is a classless act.
