Facebook is a place you can catch up with old high school companions, learn that some of them have become liberals and spend your time infuriating them on every liberal commentary by shredding every statement they make.

If they unfriend you, so what?

Or you find out that girl you lusted after in high school turned out to be a lesbian.

That’s my experience, too. Who would have expected that I would be one of the approximately 10% of my friends who turned out conservative? Facebook, where I’m a vocal conservative, distanced me from my closest high school friends by shining a bright light on our fundamental differences. I’m convinced this would have been far less likely a generation ago.

I have been surprised by the number of my classmates that turned out conservative and/or Christian. A few of them arrived at either of both of those conclusions during the following 30 years.

The one reunion I was able to attend— last years’ 30th— was a great time. I’m glad I went, and I found that I have more friends among them now than when we were in school.

Since were all turning 50 over the next couple of years, we’re thinking of having a mini-reunion this year or next, and our old vice-principal may attend :)
