Oh, i don't know. I kind of liked it. It was cute but thought-provoking, all at the same time.

I think I scored about a 22/46, right on the borderline between healthy cynic and unhealthy cynic.
0-8 Self-flagellating bleeding-heart hippie. Would crawl over hot coals to help his fellow man and would be primarily concerned about the carbon emission from said coals.
8-15 You'll never be a Musketeer ("one for all and all for one") or invited into the inner circle of the Collectivist Collective, but nevertheless believe we are all connected to each other, in a circle, in a hoop that never ends, and you occasionally cry at Disney films.
15-22 Healthy cynic.
23-30 Unhealthy cynic.
30-37 Minivan-driving soccer mom at the fringe of the exurban exodus, feeling quite put upon by the property taxes on her husband's McMansion because they fund public schools, and she'd never dream of sending her children into a perilous environment like Olentangy Liberty.
38-46 I get into accidents because I'm too busy reading Atlas Shrugged while driving my Escalade around my soulless subdivision, but it doesn't matter because I'm insured, my golf clubs are secured, and my ride is bigger than theirs. "My fellow man" is an oxymoron and "the city" exists primarily so absentee landlords have somewhere to be absent from.

I like what she's doing and I'm glad she wrote this because it translates well in print. Unfortunately it only continues to highlight companies that "get it" in terms of online communication and those that don't. Being a media company it is particularly bad that the Dispatch is in the "doesn't get it" catagory.
I mean, the formatting is terrible and I easily pay more attention to all of the commercials surrounding the article than the article, which may be what they are going for if they realized that flashing ads on websites only serve to turn me off (sorry Walker but that's even true of the ones on this site - fortunately your's are at least somewhat relevant to me).
Anyhow, I like Ann Fisher and I like what she wrote and as for where I score, well, probably gonna have to crawl across some coals...

Where I work people say those things to me every day and I'm expected to have an intelligent response. It's lazy journalism: Ann didn't have a column so she typed some stuff. Like in J-School when you were out late so you interviewed your roomate for the story due in an hour.

Tigertree wrote eh. except for the gay rights and schools parts I don't really read most of those ironically.
I don't care about small businesses, because buying everything at Walmart is cheaper.
;)
Well first off, that's not really a fair analogy. I know you mean "Tigertree" by "Small Businesses." The anti-walmart argument doesn't really apply to me. I don't sell things walmart makes substitutes for.
I do, actually, care about most of those issues. I feel like they were presented in a really condescending way. I also feel like there is an expectation to care about all of those issues, and all of those issues equally. I don't feel like I need a moral supervisor.

I was just harassing you. ;)
Honestly, I don't think this article was aimed at the readers of CU. It was aimed at the average Dispatch reader. Or at least that's how I read it.

Awww. I was really looking forward to the onslaught from my first comment. Well, okay then. I think I am looking for other things to be mad at since my other problems all went away on behalf of me admitting I was a stubborn ass and moving.
