We are living during a frightening media crisis. I believe in supporting independent journalism with something more than my "two cents." I don't like people who abuse their free sample by spewing idiocy and hatred all over this publication - and yes, I do feel some ownership, since I find so many like-minded writers here, and that makes me feel just a tiny bit more secure about being a crazy, open-minded liberal.
I guess some people consider me dumb for being a premium member. And I consider them self-centered, libertarian louts.
It has become a really annoying habit to say that in order to be a liberal you have to tolerate intolerable, intolerant garbage. I can be open to trying a lot of new foods - but if I say I don't want to eat shit does that make me "conservative"?
No, I don't have to read the letters, but they do sometimes include intelligent comments from writers I admire - just like the articles themselves do.
