This is where I share RANDOM rants and ruminations, beliefs, lists, dreams, goals, frustrations, bargains, and social injustices (EVAGATION, n. the act of wandering; excursion; a roving or rambling). More about me than you wanted to know. You may not agree with me but I hope you share my belief that what makes America great is freedom to have and express differing views. Enjoy peeking into my public journal if you want to know that part of me I share here. Enjoy!

Free Speech or Hate?
Joel Campbell had another interesting commentary about online news comments. Somehow his copy editor missed a few writing errors but content is worth reading anyway :). I have found it interesting that the ability to post anonymously on an article seems to bring out the crazies and the bizarre. I usually don't even read them because it reminds me how many stupid people there really are out there. I think, "you've got to be kidding!" and "people really believe that?" I agree with him that regular, published letters to the editor at least require some accountability and censor - they don't waste printed space on the ridiculous, but online, no problem. http://www.mormontimes.com/mormon_voices/joel_campbell/?id=6139
