Here we go, the inevitable looking back at the year.
Why?
Don't we already know what happened?
Perhaps we would prefer to forget some of it. Let us.

| They review our year for us. |
I loathe these recaps, but realize it is probably a way for media-types to get lazy and sort of rerun the year while staring at their laptop, wearing Santa hats, sipping martinis and eating cheese logs
However, Facebook, took it upon themselves and made this all quite personal for its users. The Washington Post told us what we already knew. It was inappropriate, basically.
They have been slapped at for presuming every user was experiencing a great year. Then, without asking, they summarized each profile, along with photos, and streamed it into the Newsfeeds for us.
Given past FB tactics, Zuckie's rich ass, and his army of Zucker-Nerds (made that word up and I am good with it) probably care zero about how we feel about our year or them butting into it.
Yes, I realize THE Facebook (I am using the as a slam) is a f-r-e-e service (depending on how you look at it) and we are f-r-e-e to l-e-a-v-e at any given moment. Still, if I want to review this year, I will do so.
So, thank you, very much, Zuckie, your users have brains (mostly), so could you and your little minions please stop being so damned presumptuous?
Gotta dash...
