Apparently, other folks don't suffer from comprehension problems. I'm sorry you didn't go to college, wonky, but your Desperate attempt to appear smart is extremely tiring, and I'll continue to call you out on it. Now go read David Brooks so you'll know what to say next.
I'm not sure why I bother, but here goes:
This is the "meat" of the original post "Bates seat in Oregnon Senate"
"I admire folks who want to serve the public by going to Salem to represent us. I don't necessary admire folks who are simply "job seekers" looking for the perks of public office but don't have the necessary background to do the job once there.
I'll be watching the Mail Tribune hoping to see good reporting about those who are serious, and rise to the top of the list of serious candidates.
We live in difficult times. We need responsible people with backgrounds that will make them effective in office.
Time for those of us who are NOT seeking this office to be alert and attentive."
Nothing here that might suggest I am trying to "appear smart". Just a topical comment about political stuff going on in our valley. (And I'm JUST smart enough to not attmept to appear smart...a losing cause)
But I will continue to read David Brooks. Now that guy IS smart!
So let loose your slings and arrows. I hope something about doing it will make you feel better.
Perhaps this post? http://www.roguevalleyforum.com/forum/sh...#pid377745
