Read other letters about this article
I read a number of blogs. I've read responses that are sometimes more "interesting" than the articles. Not only is there little humor, there is meanness that progressives like to attribute to reactionary conservatives and Republicans.
Hypercritical misinterpretations and nastiness seem to be the hallmark of too many. Factually responsive, thoughtful and polite (a dirty-word today) letters are far outweighed by the opposite.
Because names and faces are not known, negative, fearful ugliness is spewed onto the screen. For shame! Such people "in control" would be as horrid as the current power holders.
