Negativity

Wanna read something positively negative? Scott Adams (yes Dilbert Scott Adams) posted an entry pushing for folks to vote for California’s Proposition 87. The post isn’t the issue, it’s the comments. Unfortunately Scott found out the hard way that a majority of people who comment on political posts are commenting in the negative, and some with genuine fervor. I agree with Scott’s optimism, but the comments show the level of blind hostility and firing of personal attacks that are all too familiar from neo-cons. Typical, rather than attack the issue or present a positive solution they attack Scott and shoot back with illogical arguments and tangents.
