    Something does not add up here. Making RV full of explosives and exploding it in a right place not a small feat. Oklahoma City Bombing, for example, took 8 month from start to fina…

    Honest question -- do you think that without Facebook there will be no tensions between anti-maskers and people who insist on wearing masks everywhere? Is FB really to blame here?
