I barely read the daily paper. In that case, I hope you don't vote, either. Fat chance. We *give* the local newspaper away to every guest at our hotel. In fact, we deliver it to their suite, along with breakfast each morning. All they have to do is check the little box labeled "Yes" on their breakfast order form. While the majority of guests do still want the paper, it's truly disheartening how many people check the "No" box. I'm always hopeful that these are the folks who never make it to the polls. Then again, they may be people on vacation who want to get away from politics and other woes of the world. Just because I'm not interested in the actions of Congress one week out of the year doesn't make me a bad citizen. I'm not required to keep my TV on CNN or Fox News 24 hours a day, am I? Also, I've usually got little interest in the local newspapers when I'm traveling. Why should I be interested in scandals involving a city council 2,000 miles from home? Why should the scores of the local high school basketball teams interest me? I've rarely stayed in hotels that offer free local newspapers; most give out either McPaper (USA Today) or the Wall Street Journal. Ron Wanttaja |
