I rarely do. I have never understood the point of them. Do editors write them because they feel obligated? I was looking over the Journal Times' editorial on raising chickens in Caledonia. All I could think is, "What?" How does raising chickens in Caledonia affect the Journal Times? What expertise do they bring to the subject? Does the editorial board live in Caledonia? Are they chicken farmers? In short, who gives a damn except those living in Caledonia, and who else should properly have an opinion on it? It's their city, let them decide .
Always the smug stance, always blowing smoke at a populace that sees them as ever more irrelevant to life in this city. The Journal Times wouldn't endorse a presidential candidate, but they are ready to tell you whether or not to raise chickens. Phffft!

Well, I guess if I were in the neighborhood, I wouldn't want all that chicken poop flying about!
Stinky stuff...coming from one who knows!
Don't be so quick to judge,orbs; they had to reduce staff. I guess they have to pick their stories according to level of importance? ;>
Editorial boards are opinionated journalists (and I use the term journalist loosely), who by virtue of their position in the news business feel they know more than you do and more often than not take a somewhat arrogant position of telling us what is the best for society and the community because we the general public are to dumb to know any better. If newspapers are to survive, the best thing they can do is shitcan the editorial boards.
Shall I send them a snake??? I found a little dead ringnecked one????
beejay, with all this snake talk, we might find ourselves getting hits from the federal postal inspector's office! Personally, I like the idea! :)
