Do you mean, how do I know who read the links? I don't. I know that one person posted that they hadn't, I would assume that person is representative. I know that one person told me on the phone they hadn't. Again, I assume that one person is representative of more.
Or do you mean, what right do I have to judge them? I don't. I like both of these people very much, no judgment. I merely stated that I was disappointed. Re-reading my post, it appears that I connected two thoughts, my desire to make sure everyone I like to talk to had access to information, and my dismay with people who only use as much information as they need to make their point.
Let me re-work my original post:

I'm disappointed that people feel that there's too much to read. I, personally, dislike hearing opinions from people who haven't bothered to educate themselves.

I'm disappointed that some people feel there's too much to read. My goal was to provide as much information as possible, so the discourse could be as educated as possible.
You may still dislike what I'm saying, but I clearly wrote a badly composed paragraph the first time around.
Now back to business:
Quote:
ATLANTA - Not long after some 1,000 firefighters sat down for eight hours of training, the whispering began: "What are we doing here?"
As New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin pleaded on national television for firefighters - his own are exhausted after working around the clock for a week - a battalion of highly trained men and women sat idle Sunday in a muggy Sheraton Hotel conference room in Atlanta.
Many of the firefighters, assembled from Utah and throughout the United States by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, thought they were going to be deployed as emergency workers.
Instead, they have learned they are going to be community-relations officers for FEMA, shuffled throughout the Gulf Coast region to disseminate fliers and a phone number: 1-800-621-FEMA.
