    Surprisingly little sympathy from you, Cary

    Isn't it kind of sad that the career this LW might have spent his/her whole life dreaming about is collapsing? Sure, journalism won't die, but it looks and will continue to look nothing like the journalism adults grew up with. Isn't that sad? It may be totally hip and cool to pretend you love change, but generation after generation mourning its old way of life tells me we crave stability.

    As for you, LW, my sympathy for you personally went way down with that whole "DUIs are such an inconvenience!" thing. Maybe learn a lesson here and be glad you didn't hurt someone.
