The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

Changing the tone in the DE blogosphere won't be easy, especially since there are those - on both sides - that love to fan the flames.
Imagine if there was a 30 minute waiting period between writing a comment and posting? (Not advocating that, btw!) Most flame wars are caused by spontaneous responses and a quick submit finger.
From my own experience I can honestly say that the posts I regret the most are the ones I've fired off in the heat of the moment. Sometimes posts, and comments, need time to mature.
Credit where credit is due, Anonymous.
I guess having all your commenters being your fellow bloggers got tiresome.
A little mea culpa from Cassandra would be nice. As.If.
