In recent weeks, I have had a marked increase in opportunities for discussions with readers of my weekly column. As one might imagine in American culture, these "opportunities" are usually initiated through some form of objection to the opinion about which I wrote. Lucky me! Columnists could easily transition to the complaint department. If any of the newspapers carrying this drivel needs any help with that, I'm there for you.

I think it's time we all take a couple of minutes to renew our agreement on what the differences are between articles, editorials, and columns.
