Scott Adams is writing about how we decide right and wrong.
Mr. Adams is one of the snappiest commentators out there. He's also one of the silliest. In an earlier age when folks like Swift were writing, people had trouble sorting out the silly stuff from the serious commentary and, worse, accepting that they didn't really need to get to worried about what some goofy writer thought unless it struck to close to home.
They still don't.
Enjoy the post, which puts a whole new spin on our intellectual forefathers. Then have a look at the comments, gape in wonder at the passion and intensity people put into arguing Mr. Adams' proposal - so goofy that we use it all the time! - and sigh as you remember his catch-phrase conclusion to such arguments: "And then he voted."
Yikes!
And these are the people who ready the funny pages? The folks still reading the NYT Op-Ed must be really humorless.
