Raking Muck in the Third Millenium

I used to have a sign over my desk in a newspaper office long ago, in Gothic script it read Rake Some Muck Today. In today's world, raking muck is something of a lost art. I may not be able to singlehandedly bring it back, but this is a start.

Gloom and Doom

I am getting very tired of all the doomsayers. Newspapers are dying. Life as we know it is going to end. Good grief. Can they be any more annoying?
Instead of insisting that kids don't read anything, maybe they should stop by a library or a bookstore and see what kids are reading. Instead of lamenting that all information will be electronically transmitted, why don't they check out a real book? Or buy one?
If these folks who see the end of the printed world spent more time reading printed material and less time kvetching about it, maybe the printed word would last longer.
So, I'll cut this short and let the kvetchers get on with real reading.
