I’ve been poking fun at many of the number-goal groups on Facebook for sometime. It’s just seems so comical to me that there are a huge number of “I bet I can find 1,000,000 people for/against so-and-so” type groups there. They only get more entertaining the longer I’m on that site.
It’s so cute that there’s now a FB group which wants to sign up the entire US population (they even used an old number; about 3 million too low as of last year) against our new Healthcare Reform law. Never mind that these are the people who won a democratic election and did what they said they’d do. Or that current polls show support for the law solidly north of 50%1.
What’s so cute about this? These are many of the same people who complain about the account problems with the law.
