This thread is hopelessly off track of the original topic about a column in today's paper. Personal attacks, name calling, and political statements render it unwieldy to clean up, hence it will be closed.
The admin has opened the door to allow discussion of current events topics as long as they stay away from name calling, partisan references, overt political topics, personal attacks, and extreme rants. Sadly, few of these threads seem to last more than a few hours before they degrade beyond repair.
It's unfortunate that we can't discuss important topics with respect and civility.
Dismounting soapbox....
