His user picture is of a caveman. Fits pretty good. I'd like to see him actually try to survive in the individualistic world he espouses.

I deleted my Facebook account maybe 2 years ago. Couldn't have made a better decision. I wish my wife would kill her account. She spends anywhere from 1 hour to all damn day on it.
