Let's talk about people who annoy

Instead of taking up the Fence Post real estate with rants about say, taxes up or down, abortion pro or con, Illinois politicians in court rooms, Washington elected officials hailed or despised, might it make sense for this space to be that of the people, talking about the people?

Yes, time has come for the readers of this publication to discuss each other more. That is, for example, taking on the folks who seem to think that a wireless device in their hand or on their ear exempts them from any type of social courtesy previously known to all of humankind.

Another topic might be those who choose to leave late for work via an automobile and then must put their and your life at risk to make that 8 a.m. meeting. Another might be why it is the media-driven ideal that if each and every American continues to spend more than he or she has, the economy will actually improve.

Yes, I cannot change the weather and neither can you, but there are opinions of and for readers of this publication who could stand more of these types of topics openly discussed.
