RANT & CHAT - No Politics

[BullNBear52]

But wholesale copying and pasting of articles needs to be eliminated.

Why? If the article in question sums up my Rant and I feel editing out a portion does damage to my whole Rant; then it should be posted in it's entirety. You also do a disservice of the author of the article by editorializing his article. Something that is happening way too much of in the press today. Sound bites, or in this case news bites can be way too subjective.

I have read many an article where although it may have a liberal flavor; it does state the opposition's point of view. And of course vice versa.

A good Rant has to have meat to it. And leave an opening for response. The recent insurance debate was a case in point. Had not the whole articles been presented you might not have chosen to join in the debate.

IMO if you don't want to read the article don't. To date I don't think IHUB has placed a restriction on the length of a post!
