Reading Actively (Op/Ed) (Read, Discuss, 20m)

After discussing hacker, we'll take a short op/ed (opinion/editorial) piece from a New Hampshire paper, and apply some of what we've discussed. Our goal is to look at that document and ask "what does it say, and to whom?"

The challenge to us, as readers, is to identify when the author is constructing a sound set of rational arguments as opposed to when the author is making claims without good support and evidence. I've chosen some extreme examples for the purpose of this exercise.
