It's terrific to have new op-ed offerings and fresh views.
Oh, how the folks wish that (insert word here) retentive 'other' newspaper in Aspen would do same. But alas, never to be. (...do they even know that the people who read them are alive and do have a pulse??)
Second, here we are again on the topic of disinformation in the hands of tools that are powerful. Doesn't matter if those 'tools' are a person or a method of communication. In the case of Jack Johnson, heaven only knows what 'power' he holds.
Since readership really does have a pulse, does that readership think they could stand alone on some semblance of ethics and principle by not buying into any information unless it's final verified? For goodness sake, go get your daily fix of smut and gossip by picking up the National Enquirer. Leave your neighbors alone.
Lastly, let's weigh in on Connie Harvey's columns and give a balance to Jay Cowan's letter to the editor today.
This is a case of the Daily moving on. And another case of an intervention by the folks.
Slowly but surely the people keep stripping away the layers of disinformation that keep trying to cling to the old school of thought that 'anything goes'.
We have far too many eco-pen 'hitman' columnists in this valley, Connie. It would have been so very nice to get at least a little bit of balance out of your work. Best to you as you move on too.

"Truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident."
