Eleanor Roosevelt once said:

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”

To some, that might sound intellectually snobbish. But I believe that Mrs. Roosevelt — rather than insulting people who may not have had the benefit of advanced education — was in fact criticizing those who engage in gossip and slander.

And I would like to take the liberty of adding a fourth observation:

“Demented minds spew hatred and vitriol on social media at three o’clock in the morning.”

I don’t believe that requires an explanation.

Just sayin’ . . .
