Yesterday I received a mass e-mail from a reporter at the Miami Herald saying that she was writing a story about people taking time off for July 4th and suggesting that I might have some insight.

Specifically, she wanted to know if I and my employees were taking July 4th off, and if so, how many days.

So much for insight.

And so much for journalism. I suppose some recipients were flattered by the e-mail, the fact that their hometown newspaper wanted to hear from them.

But as a subscriber, I braced myself for another useless product of people journalism taking up valuable space in my morning newspaper. As a former journalist, I felt happy that I was no longer working in a newsroom.

The most popular punching bags are the hanging bags. In addition to anger, so many
other behavior problems can bring a relationship to the verge of a break up.
