Gee, Kathryn, I feel that people need to be able to read about stuff that random people opine about. How about you donate, say 100% of your salary towards this cause? Because I feel, deep in my heart, as a moral, spiritual issue, that your writing adds nothing to the dialog. And that paying you nothing would not only be a very fair trade with regards to your employer, but it would help your employer employ other writers and keep their website going. It’s only fair, isn’t it? You trade your livelihood for my feelings, whaddya say?
It would be only fair if newspaper printers, writers, clerks, typesetters, internet posters, delivery persons would all work for free, because a for profit enterprise is not only unfair, but it taxes the system and takes advantage of the poor who must have the information on the pages or else die a terrible unknowing death.
