Category: Comment Sandbox

  • [Cleaning up the FUE-related off-topic comments was a chore.  Please try not to rile the gentleman with ad hominems relating to his appearance, education, career, etc – there is enough topic matter to highlight re his editorial policy, political ideology, and morality lectures to fill volumes.  And I propose that even these would be better…

  • [I suppose there are still other issues beyond Puerto Rico and Las Vegas that need to be recognized and resolved in our own inimitable manner.  Apologies for not having an open sandbox for the last couple of days. gjr]

  • [Is gerrymandering bad for a representative democracy?  Many people, including me, think so.  Thoughts? (more here and here)  gjr]

  • [We just returned from a visit to the east coast upon which I will report shortly.  Apologies for the sand getting a little putrid with all the internecine tete-a-tetes going after each other's morals, character, mental acumen, aboriginal ethnicities, and added divers factors too numerous to mention.  In any event, here's something I'd like to…

  • [Wow, the last one really filled up.  Here's some fresh sand to reignite a closer examination of the ongoing polls that portend so much about President Trump.  To that we can add the fascinating new cause celebre of diagnosing the man's mental health.  I personally appreciate readers' updates on local fire news.  Thanks.  gjr]

  • [Well, that last sandbox sure got smelly in the end.  My bad for letting it linger.  Perhaps we can try to raise the level of discourse on this one.  Would love to see some dialogue on 'Trump divorces GOP Congress' and its implications for legislation and 2018. gjr]

  • [So much going on – today's solar eclipse (protect them peepers), growing echoes of Charlottesville, President Trump reveals what next in Afghanistan, and Islamic terror now regularly arising out of indigenous populations, and more …  gjr]

  • [New sandbox for all topics save the Charlottesville/Google controversies for which your fine thoughts and other improvisations should be posted under 'Charlottesville – harbinger or just a temperature reading?'  gjr]
