deactivated all my social media accounts

Points well taken, Joe. I'm sure a lot of folks find certain aspects of facebook and other forms of social media to be quite useful. But its not for everyone.

Reckon I'm just from another place and time and the very concept is foreign to my nature. Especially the politically motivated 'games' being played using algorithms by those who run google and the various social media platforms in order to silence those with whom they disagree and shape public opinion to suit their own particular worldview rather than welcoming honest and open discussion of current events. To my way of thinking, that's just plain underhanded and I have no desire to be a part of it.

Best regards,

Harry
