Attention smart people

Go back to April, pretty sure there was a thread on this article back then when it came out.

I don't remember commenting before, but my general advice is:

Whether they be in the media or politics, always beware people who can identify problems but cannot identify solutions.

Any idiot can identify problems.  A real person with intelligence would say definitively what the solution is.

A real person with intelligence would not indicate that Oregon State can fix the problem by installing orange turf, which is wrong on so many levels.

A real person with intelligence who graduated from high school before 2006 and has ever read anything of any substance would know what Pravda is.

A real person with intelligence would probably not be a circa 36-year-old University of Montana graduate with a journalism degree.

And haphazardly throwing money, which is truly at a premium, at a problem without a true plan is not a solution, no matter how much certain dopey Oregonian writers believe it to be.

Orem covered Utah for 3½ years, and the Lakers for more than nine years.  The dude just got back to the Oregonian after more than 12½ years away.  And less than two years in, he knows more than us?

Dude has identified problem of which we are all acutely aware but no solutions. 

At least Oram cared enough to write the article.  But you probably get better stuff about the topic from several of the posters on this board, especially the ones that are more tied into the university than myself.
