Used in a sentence: "As Abraham Lincoln himself (probably) said: 'Know ye this: free speech is the foundation of our form of government ... but our founding fathers thought just as highly of free 'snooze', free 'unfollow', and free 'block'."
With less than a week to go until the primary election (and the gloating that will happen after it), consider it my PSA to inform you that you have the power to make your day on the facebook happier. It's up to you if you want to snooze (like putting a fool in a temporary timeout for a month to think about what ridiculousness he or she posted), or to unfollow (like putting a fool in a permanent timeout where you will not see anything unless you go looking to find the latest ridiculousness that he or she posted), or to block (like putting a fool in what amounts to a permanent permanent timeout where you won't see him or her and he or she won't see you and all you will have is the memories of the ridiculousness that he or she posted).
And this should go without saying, but please also take note that the virtual world is NOT the actual world. You are under absolutely no obligation to stay connected with fools spouting ridiculousness. Honest Abe has your back whatever action you take ...
