Well, I dunno why people are so easily distracted from the real issues by such [stuff]. Not that there seems to be any consensus on what constitutes Real Issues....

Well, since this is NYC.... Anything from the mayor taking naps (2/3 of day) to crumbling of the subway system, etc, etc that the mayor wants to deflect attention from.

Heh heh, it occurred to me as soon as I signed off that here we are discussing the need to attend to Real Issues...at Autopia...where we pretend that Car Wax and Swirlmarks matter!

They do !!!!

Or are we "whacked" ?!?!?!?

Ronkh- Well, there`s a reason I consider myself the Autopian Heretic

I`m as nutty about marring as anybody, but I really do think it`s a pretty silly concern. As somebody here pointed out, at best it`s one of those First-World Problems. Eh, I guess I just know too many people who`d either love to be able to expend resources on something so trivial or, OTOH who`d never allow such stuff to distract them from doing truly important things.

Which is precisely why I do it.

Heh heh...at least you`re consciously aware of that.

Ain`t it grand? I guess one only need consider the source.

Eh, that Daily Caller piece is so obviously biased that I can`t accept it at face value; IMO if it were a valid representation they wouldn`t feel the need to word it that way....any more than the SPLC would need to word *their* points the way they do. Hyperbole sells to a certain demographic, IOW keeps the bucks rolling in, for any side of any argument..so it`s all noise to me.

Similarly, IMO if everybody merely ignored twits like that [individual] at Skidmore rather than rewarding her with an equally biased counterattack, maybe such nonsense would get less traction. As soon as "reportage" turns into OpEd, thatt`s a clue...and merely noise for those of us who can think for ourselves.
