To begin, I am no Lytton Strachey or C.S. Lewis. I do not possess any extraordinary writing talents. However, what I do possess is an appreciation for good writers and writing. Through a person's writing one can see many things, such as the ability to reason. Sadly, there are few times that I encounter reason in my forum experiences. What most of the authors there lack in grammar they make up for in groundless, and therefore meaningless, debates. Not all of these people will turn out to be the lower orders of society, many will be middle-class managers, industrial leaders, and political figures. With the blank face of the internet it is nearly impossible to tell how old these writers are. I hope that they are not all children or young adults, if they are then the US will soon encounter a blight of leaders that can not reason nor will they want to even try. Granted there have always been too many unfit people with too much power, but things appear to be getting worse. I am not entirely sure why I wrote all this. I suppose I just wanted to let off some steam after my encounters with humankind. I desperately hope things will change, but each new time I venture onto the forums I become further disillusioned.
