QUINCY AND ADAMS COUNTY POLITICS: THE "DUMBASS" FACTOR

Lot of hot, local issues being discussed on some blogs in the basin. God Bless and go to it!

A great many of the comments lately seem to be somewhere between or beyond "Dumbass!" "Everybody who works for the government is a vile and lazy ass" and "You Suck!".

I had kinda hoped the the internet would elevate public discourse a little higher than this. Sometimes somebody earns the odd "Dumbass!" (there was a guy not too long ago who thought John Edwards married the Heinz Ketchup money--there "Dumbass" was just a pronoun.) but for the most part, I see some room for improvement in the basin blogosphere.

When the heiroglyphs on the Mayan walls were read, it led to very positive thoughts about their society and learning. The blogosphere are our cave and temple walls. Are we going to leave for future sociologists and anthropologists "You Suck, Dumbass!" Geez, I hope not!
