Perhaps your point of view would be printed as well. That seems to me to be a very good way of responding to this, if you're in Utah.

That is exactly my reason for posting this, hoping a Utah Freeper that is a better wordsmith than me would tackle the job.

Well, I wouldn't wait for someone else to write it. Give it a try. Use the op-ed piece as an outline for your writing. Take his piece apart, point for point.

Newspapers love well-written counterpoints in these op-ed pieces. It stimulates readership. You can't get a counter article published unless someone writes one.

Give it a shot.

Um...thanks for the word of confidence (I think.)

You are a wonderful wordsmith....I think you should give it a try!

I've reread the article three times. For some reason, it's not whipping me into an emotional frenzy. I suppose because it comes from the "full-of-tripe," Salt Lake Tribune. I've become apathetic to its editorials and opinions.

Apathy is probably not the highest and best reaction....I'll have to think about it!

The problem is, it isn't well thought out guest commentary. It is a mindless rant and chant of left wing cliches. Brother Willmore has become completely unhinged. It's an embarrassing spectacle to say the least. It is pointless to even attempt to rebut the screed, because it is pure emotion and emotion cannot be rebutted, only ignored.

I did conduct a google search to discover that Willmore is in the business of consulting with executives and leaders to assist them to become more effective executives and leaders. He describes what he is selling as follows:

"Most people find [the training] provocative. It will challenge and change some of your most habitual--and unexamined--major assumptions about life, learning, and leadership."

What a promise! When considered in light of the litany of knee-jerk platitudes spewed by Willmore in his guest commentary, one must pause to wonder whether Willmore has been paying even the slightest attention to his own advice.
