We’ve always stressed our policy on
guest editorials/blogs/columns. They don’t have to follow our lead;
they can be diametrically opposed to our ideologies as long as they
aren’t violent, profane, or libelous. So we were a little shocked
when a friend asked if we would publish an editorial in support of
Augie Hendershot for Lauderdale County Sheriff.
Obviously the answer is “yes.” Just
as obviously we will also stand waiting with quill in hand to rebut
the rebuttal. We’ve never been accused of being short on verbiage.
Political debate is good for the system. Voters need to be involved
and educated. Sadly, that seems to be a rarity in Northwest Alabama.
We don’t expect anyone to vote for a
candidate simply because anyone here says to. We do expect voters to
be able to give a logical reason for voting as they do. Remember, a
little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Learn a little. Live
dangerously...
