On Comments

Perhaps some readers are bitter and cling to anonymous invective; perhaps it's the pollen. For some reason, the comments section has been transformed into a sewer. If you're keen on wading into the muck, you can do so elsewhere, at least for a few days. If you like your politics civil, please stay. I always welcome disagreement, discussion, debate, argument -- and tips! My e-mail and AOL screen name are above, to the right of the screen.
