Quantcast

In Your Opinion: Random Thoughts

By Bill Connell, Somerset

I find it enjoyable to observe, assess, and comment. Sometimes, it’s for fun, sometimes it’s to challenge someone, or just to play devil’s advocate and tip over the apple cart. Surprisingly though, I have had nothing to say about current events.  I have been avoiding adding one more opinion. Most of the time opinions come from a personal issue or political agenda, not from a step back and look at the whole picture.   

 Two examples come to mind.  The person who advocated charter schools on Facebook in a discussion of public schools planning the logistics to reopen.  This is tasteless bad form.  The other, is a person who asked on Mayor Kramer’s Zoom forum how green energy can help boost the economy, right at the height of pandemic. This is called plying your agenda at a weak point.
