You may be right according to CNN's Jeff Greenfield and ABC's Linda
Douglass:
As for "smear artists" on the Internet, Greenfield
says, "The freedom that it gives anonymous twerps to spew out invective -- that
they don't like the way you look or think you're an idiot or a child abuser --
that's just part of the process."
...
Douglass praises some bloggers for "looking at issues
and news coverage in a fresh way." But she says others are "driven by anger" and
trying "to snuff out the opinions offered by the other side," undermining
journalists who "are trying to provide a more balanced
view."

`"food for thought." That precludes impulsive tirades, pontifications, and personal attacks.' Don't know that it does; seems that any time we invite thought, the door is opened to a process without forethought or constraint, where various and random conclusions independent of proof or certainty may result. You may provide the stimuli but cannot determine the outcome. Thinking and the conclusions derived is a veritable `can of worms', which is why, today's politicians limit themselves to the pablum of sound bites and emotional trickery. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Food for thought: Read "Asbury Park" for "Coney Island." > > > In Coney Island's Future, Looking to Past Glory By _JOSEPH BERGER_ > (http://query.nytimes.com/search/query?ppds=bylL&v1=JOSEPH > BERGER&fdq=19960101&td=sysdate&sort=newest&ac=JOSEPH BERGER&inline=nyt-per) > > or decades, talk about a revival of Coney Island was shrugged off by the > area's veterans as a distortion in a fun house mirror.
