Political Postings

[zunzune]

I truly enjoy all the political postings that go up daily and I get a kick out of more than a few of them. A lot of these are informative, educational, entertaining, biased, non-biased, judgemental....you get the picture. What I would like to know is why is almost everything a cut and paste, something spewed that another has written. I would say that the majority of the members of this site are educated to the point of being able to write original articles. Why copy somebody else's? I believe wholeheartedly that cedricbenson, kurtmasur, eaglecitizen, and a bunch of others have no need to report what others have written but can voice/write original thoughts, ideas, and so on...things that we can later create good debates on. From reading these posts the last couple of years I know the debates can be hot and downright dirty, so why not make them your own?

Well, it saves time, and it is just more efficient to cut and paste (even though, I must confess that I do think that this practice is rather cheap). Out of all the stuff I read, however, I only post on these forums the most worthy of articles that I think will be of interest to my fellow Eagle Passans.

Sometimes I guess. I still think that most of the guys posting are as intelligent or more than the average Joe out there on the web. However, because it is done in the interest of saving time then so be it.:)
