I learned a new word today: “snarking”.

In a nationally respected newspaper, today, I read that a top political operative used the words: “snarking and barking” to a large crowd recently. In today’s political arena, people tend to say whatever they like, to anyone, anywhere. I’m just old enough to value the benefits of civility; it’s unthinkable to me that I’d use these two words in any conversation. In today’s digital world, anything a person says is memorialized forever. I wonder if the person who used these words in conversation will live to be proud of what they said and did. Somehow, I don’t think so.
