People are weary of a lot of things.

While Spanish language media seems to harp on about immigration, you just don't see the marches and rallies on the pro legalization side like it was.

There is still the pressure on by organized groups for legalization and all those threatened lawsuits over at large voting districts and such, but outside of a few idiots who think their cause is advanced by shenanigans like shutting down Wilshire Boulevard during rush hour, it seems to me there is nowhere near the pro illegal public activity there was maybe 6 to 8 years ago.

There are few postings here at SOS, but hundreds of visitors are on the site every day, I believe sometimes as many as 120 to 150 at a time, I think a year ago it was 15 to 20 at a time. What is incongruous to me is that many posts on important issues concerning immigration seem to get little viewing but a tongue in cheek single post thread with headline bait like "Mexican dwarf porcupine rodent" appears to be a runaway hit, over 2000 viewings in maybe three weeks.

I don't know about Facebook, it seems to me a place where one blabbers all about his personal life ad nauseum (like "I am now taking a crap" or "I picked my nose and gave my girlfriend a 'dutch oven' twice in the last fifteen minutes") and advertises personal absence from the house - such as vacation - which invites burglary. This social media thing seems to take people away from the real world of here and now along with all of the surrendering of personal privacy, and social media has all the ugly nature of a murderous mob when rumor mill conjecture or even purposeful disinformation somehow turns into fact.
