The Gazette prints a lot of jarring letters that are disrespectful, mis-informed, boorish, partisan, or just plain old whacked out. More rarely, letters are printed which address subjects that are of genuine interest and value to the community. I'm not sure if the Gazette staff attempts to screen incoming letters, but I suspect not, except perhaps for extreme content like death threats. I think that more aggressive editiorial oversight as regards the Letters section would be a good thing. Much of what passes for discourse on these boards is intellectually anemic and reflects poorly on the participants and the Gazette/local area. For that reason, I am parking the laptop and retiring my avatar. Catch y'all on the flip side.

Most USA liberals aren't Marxist. It is not in their collective economic self interest to be so. Just as most USA conservatives do not advocate unregulated capitalism. In any era, the government is what WE THE PEOPLE make it, acting through the living mechanism of the Constitution. It's imperfect, but its a very good system of government, considering the alternatives.

It's good that you missed the many discussions about Fox News on this board. It would have sent your triviality-shame gauge offscale. Welcome to pop culture.
