The burden of Stuff

[cjsmith]

If Mark Morford would ever learn to use a f*cking PERIOD END OF SENTENCE, I'd forgive him all his snide little oh-so-self-righteous cheap shots at anyone who doesn't toe the NeoLiberal Party Line, and I might start to read his column semi-regularly, perhaps even when sober, if I could manage that, because God knows he occasionally says something worth saying.

Yeah, communication may be a two-way street but column writing (any writing for a wide audience, really) puts a lot of the burden of effective communication on the sender. If there's too much noise on the channel, the audience drifts away.
