This surely rates as one of the worst opinion pieces I have read in quite some time. Not only is it poorly written, with no clear sense of direction, it doesn't really address what the title indicates is the argument being made! It is a hodge-podge of relatively interesting observations, sans analysis, organization or obvious point. I would expect better from a high-school student; the Post-Gazette should be embarrassed to publish this drivel. (P.S. I didn't like it.)
