You know what would be fun? If the people who ostensibly comment on news stories and columns and editorials online actually commented on the content of those news stories and columns and editorials -- you know, after reading them -- instead of using the comments section to mouth off on their pet theories about, well, everything but what's in the news stories and columns and editorials.
Having digested the news stories and columns and editorials before weighing in, they would then do so in a thoughtful manner that respects the opinions of people who disagree with them. Those people, in turn, would return the favor and behave in a similar fashion, resulting in an actual dialogue among sensible adults.
I know. That's crazy talk. Because everybody already has the answer to everything without wasting time actually reading news stories and columns and editorials. So screw that, and screw the idiots who disagree. Because in America, we’re all free to make asses of ourselves.
