I spend a great deal of time harping in this space week after week. I guess that s just what columnists do. I read many other columnists. They re always harping, too. And it doesn t really matter what side of the political aisle they re on, either.
Liberal columnists harp on conservative issues and conservative columnists harp on liberal issues.
Moderate columnists harp on everybody. I think if all you ever read were editorial columns, you d come away with the impression that the United States is a pretty glum, problem-ridden place. Of course, that isn t the case. Fact is, there are some really positive things happening in our nation. There are negatives, too, and those are sometimes the easiest things to write about, I guess.
