Facebook was designed for a single aspect of our social life: student. As it grew, it became pretty good for our friends in general. And I agree with you here that among our friends, we should strive to 'be ourself, at all time'.
Overall though, it is simply impossible for me to use Facebook to interact with more than my friends. For example, I really can't mix up:
My children and my party gang
My close family and my 'exes'
My clients and my hockey team
...
If I can only discuss topics that fit to all these aspects, I'll end up sharing only about my cat and the Toronto weather. Funny thing is that I see some of my friends behaving differently on Facebook than in life. I am not even sure if I can talk to them as usual, in case their children are watching.
I just want more freedom than what Facebook gives me. Using groups to share with all my contacts is a no-no as I don't control membership and I'm sure you know that using messages and lists to manage our social circles is just too cumbersome. I guess you could say that Facebook is a victim of its success.

I believe what people will think of this is 'why not just be yourself, all the time'. You can still use messages to share private content that you judge inappropriate to a group of users.
