35. And then the right criticisms are ignored

Everyone (present posters included, sigh!) should be subject to bullshit tests from time to time. Publicly elected officials should be subject to them a lot more. When it's all criticism all the time and especially without any good documentation, then how do you know when it's the good stuff and when it's just carping and whining?

I dislike knee-jerk reactions to anyone. It is content-free. If I proclaim undying love for someone who is a public official (hmmmm, that sounds odd) I should back it up. If I offer all criticism all the time, then I should back it up. And be ready when the BS meters come out.
