Know Yr Rights - January 2, 2008
Are you one of the 58 million Facebook users? Before you give the rest of your identity away, consider Ari Melber's article in the new issue of The Nation (January 7/14, 2008).

That means . . . well, use your imagination. You don't need a lawyer to know which way the wind blows.
