AR-Land Comm: When Rhetorical Questions Attack!
AR-Land Comm: When Rhetorical Questions Attack!
In yesterday’s Democrat-Gazette, Michael R. Wickline had a column comparing and contrasting L.J. Bryant and Monty Davenport. (The paper also endorsed Bryant…again.)В The full text of the column is after the jump, and it is well worth a read, but I want to address a few parts of it directly. (All emphases in the blockquotes are mine.)
Bryant said 62 percent of the voters Tuesday indicated they want the land commissioner’s office to be innovative and use new technology. That’s about how many voted for him and Berg, who promoted some of the same ideas.
Davenport “seems like a nice guy,” Bryant said, but represents the “status quo” in the office.
Davenport countered that he wants to improve the office. “I’m all for technology,” he said. “[But] it has to be something that works, that’s do-able and cost-efficient. After all, we are talking about spending taxpayer dollars .”
worried about spending a few taxpayer dollars.More important than Davenport’s lack of irony in his statement, however, is the idea that any new technology brought to the Land Commissioner’s office “has to be something that works, that’s do-able and cost-efficient.” Implicit in this statement, of course, is Davenport presuppposing that Bryant’s proposals do not meet those criteria. Of course, Davenport fails to explain how or why Bryant’s measures won’t work, which you can chalk up either to laziness, a lack of understanding (my personal choice), or the realization that there isn’t any support for Davenport’s assertion.
Let me address this through the use of an analogy: why do average, everyday Americans buy computers? I mean, computers are expensive, software is expensive, and both the computer and the software have to be replaced every 5 or 6 years (on average). That being the case, why would anyone buy one, especially in the current economy? Because they make life easier in the long run. With a computer, a person can access the Internet and shop for goods that they would otherwise not be able to find locally, and they can frequently find common goods more cheaply than they would in local stores; they can access online banking, which allows them to better manage their own finances, and they can export that information to other software like Quicken, which allows them to create a budget and stay organized for tax purposes; and they can research anything from a new movie to a new refrigerator, making them smarter and more prepared consumers. In short, a person buys a computer to make his life more efficient. The initial investment required is more than made up for by the savings, both direct and indirect, that the computer provides in the user’s everyday life.
