It's interesting, and perhaps somewhat revealing, that many of the comments here are bashing everyone other than the comment writer (not the columnist). Lots of "they" troll me and my kind but I'm so innocent while name-calling "loony lefties", "rabid righties", "vicious women" comments proves the point of the article. The same right to free speech (barring hate speech) applies to all sides - too bad some keyboard junkies just don't get that. Mandatory marijuana might help.
