Thank you, MoveOn.org and Facebook.Com

Dear Facebook MasterMinds and Bottom Line Decisionmakers,

Many thanks from this Gulf Coast Facebook member for respecting my rights to privacy. All of us who protested the BEACON INVASION felt somewhat as if we were wearing a straight jacket, strapped onto a hospital operating table, and being prepped for a colonoscopy without the sedatives or vaseline. You get the picture!

I feel sure you can imagine the sigh of relief all of us are breathing today.

With affection,
Lovelace Cook
GYPSY QUEEN CAB

Facebook Beacon will not shine on the Gypsy Queen Cab!

Don't you just love the immediacy of people taking action! This great NYT article just about says it all. And, of course I signed the MoveOn.org petition. No Facebook Beacon is gonna shine on this Gypsy Queen Cab's adventures online.

Facebook capitulates...High Five, Fellow Facers

Y'all, am I ever relieved to know that there is strength in unity. Thank you, Saul Alensky. Facebook listened to our protests...everybody is selling out for the big bucks! Thank God, those of us who keep up with the giants of social media got wind of what was happening and spread the word. If that doesn't confirm the power of the people, I don't know what does! Amen.

No Carbon Emissions Here, Folks!

So, we went into the shop for a while...maybe longer. In a nanosecond the world changes dramatically. Imagine how the world looks now to the new and revised Gypsy Queen Cab!

Stay posted, people.
