I am not an adept diarist. Often I am awestruck by the sheer level of hyper-competence exhibited by those who diary here regularly. My own few diaries tend to the lighter side – mere fluff, rather than the hard-hitting, well-researched, insightful contributions I see here on a daily, indeed, hourly basis. You might say I’m a dwarf asteroid in the glittering constellation that is the dKos.
So I don’t diary often. I prefer to follow the adage, "It’s better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you’re stupid rather than open your mouth and prove it." However, in recent weeks a topic has arisen that touches me to my core and I simply cannot bear to remain silent. If you have a moment, follow me over the fold. Won’t take long, I promise. And even though I searched, if I missed this specific topic, I’ll delete this entry.
