One of my blogs is one in which I expose the abusive and controlling tactics of a bible-based cult which masquerades as a church.

My whole gig…is sort of negative…which is the exposing part and warning others…but I am going to take a loot at my blog now in light of your article.

Even though those I am writing to are a specific group who need to see and hear the things they already know but are too afraid to thing about…it is very constructive to provide an alternative. To provide the hope for a better future.

Even though I would like to think of myself as not being someone who is just…in your word “ragging” on this group…I really appreciate the word of caution.

Thansks so much…from one of your very new readers.

1) A statesman is a disinterested promoter of the public good. A great statesman (or person) puts the national and public good ahead of ego or party.

2) A leader helps people accomplish a mission. A great leader builds up people to the point they put aside differences and pull together to accomplish the mission.

3) A criticism of another is just a senseless rant, unless an alternative solution or positive advice is given at the same time.

So I’m with you Chris, when you write, “Hate and bashing only serves to remove choices, not help make the right one. Positivity and inventive solutions provide you something to get behind, something motivating and enabling.”

It is also unfortunate that in today’s world it seems that if you disagree with someone on the facts, you are attacking them. We as a society have convinced ourselves that any disent is an attack. What happened to go old debate?

As a right wing wacko I don’t care for any of them…but I have to vote even though there is no “none of the above” ballot choice.

Great observation Chris

Of course, if that’s what your audience expects, it’s because you’ve trained them to expect it by writing that way from day one. Best to avoid it in the first place, if you ask me.

I think, politically speaking, that campaigns focus on what’s news – and negative attacks get attention. There’s very little substance because the candidates are focused on the soundbite. They don’t have the forum to get substance out. The media focuses on the horse raise rather than real issues. Another sad aspect is that if the candidates DON’T attack back or come out swinging, they may not be perceived as strong. I really don’t feel we get the true sense of the candidate in the campaign. Look at Hillary’s final speech where she talked about how her campaign paved the way for women going forward running for president. It was much more human and real. Imagine if her whole campaign had that tone . . .

For most, positive, substantive, two-way dialogue should be the goal.

It is a double edge sword however. Where there is fairness and harmony the critic must remain silent.
