Keep tugging Mr Greenwald. The world needs more journalists like you

while you're not wrong, we need more of us to be pulling at these strings, not just sitting comfortably on the sidelines hoping and cheering for others to do it.

i didn't see anything that looked like artie was ripping into you, and it didn't look as though you were all that uncomfortable, to the naked eye at least.

^{(edit: [SFW] - fun parts are all blurred)}

you're right about everything you just said. i wasn't trying to nitpick you specifically, but i get the impression that many people think an upvote is enough, that simple agreement with another's actions is enough. but, it's not. and that's all i was saying.

that aside, your followup comment is awesome! yes, local! how do you think all these candidates get on the national stage? they percolate up through the system, starting in your own city. so, get out there, vote local, vote for councilmen, board members, senators, etc.! when the proselytizers (or even better, the candidate themself) come to your door, engage them! when they solicit your vote, challenge them on issues you hold close, ask them for clarification on stances, make them defend their ideas and stances, and be active!

that's a ridiculous comparison. i get what you're saying, i think, but that's a weak argument.

what happened to tamir and what we're talking about here are totally different and, except for the presence of police, completely unrelated.

if you want to make the case that the state trooper getting 30 months of probation is bull, then compare that to another person committing a similar crime or being similarly negligent. that would make sense and carry weight.

what the heck does tamir and that debacle have to do with a police being distracted while driving?
