Editorial: "A drop in the bucket is still welcome"

Nice. Totally reactive and reactionary, of course, but mostly harmless, and the water-pistol simile is sorta cute. Mercifully short, as well.

More meta: I notice the editorials are all there today under the Opinions tab on the free site. Good job, IT.

    "For many of the past few years, Yavapai County has been as much of a flyover zone for rainfall as the Midwest is for liberal politicians and media elitists."

    Seriously, why not take the "Opinion/Editorial" from the page topper and put a GOP elephant and the NRA logo. At least it would save ink. By the way, the 'media elitists' reside on the East Coast, not in the midwest. Think Boston, New York, Washington. Not Chicago, St. Paul, St. Louis. If you're going to take a shot at 'media elitists' figure where they are at before ignorantly sniping. jared

    I think the suggestion wasn't that liberal elitists come from the midwest, but that it is a flyover zone for them. So, it's kind of the opposite, as he's saying liberal elitists avoid the midwest.
    That said, the logo idea is still appropriate.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
