Hypo-Critical

A lot of people these days seem to have opinions. We pride ourselves on it, we celebrate the opinionated on daytime tv and give them a platform and a people to shout at. Talkshows beg and plead with viewers to phone in and share their views, newspapers publish polls of current feeling, and worse, everybody is a writer, delivering daily snoring thoughts to the masses. Blogs spring up quicker than whiskers on a granny, barely disguised rants, slander and tantrums, hundreds and thousands of millions of words, too many words to ever be read, to ever have a chance of being read, even if we weren't too busy writing pages of irrelevance to have time to read. Please, everyone, give it a rest. Let me tell you this; opinions? they don't count for squat. Most of the bad feeling and resentment we deal with each day comes from people who think their opinions matter. They don't. Of course... that's just my opinion.
