+1!  My experience exactly. I use FB to keep up with my kids and grandkids
and to get to know my on-line friends, their politics and prejudices.  It's
very informative.  I've discovered that several of my relatives get all of
their news from Fox.  I will not be discussing politics with them at
Thanksgiving.  Thank goodness all of my children agree with me politically.
