Ben S. Clarke – The Columnist for the Greenfield Recorder And The Real World Lesson

On April 17, 2011, in Greenfield, MA, Politics in Greenfield, Massachusetts, by Wilfried F. Voss

Honestly, I had given up reading Ben S. Clarke’s column in the Greenfield Recorder. In my personal opinion, he would be better off writing a book in the range of “All I Really Need To Know I Learn By Watching FOX News.” That’s what it is. His writing is lightyears away from being original. I, the unapologetic liberal, and my wife, the registered Republican, have more intriguing discussions about US politics. Heck, even my almost-four-year-old, who doesn’t have a clue about politics, is more challenging.

It seems that Ben S. Clarke, a regular contributor to the Greenfield, Massachusetts newspaper – The Recorder, is still on the search of his own identity.

Ben S. Clarke, whenever he writes, successfully manages to offend, in this current case the entire population of Vermont. In the January 5 edition he condemns Vermont for enforcing speed limits (in fact, he complains like a little, spoiled princess), because he got caught, and now he has to pay a $186 speeding ticket. Yes, the laws do apply to everybody, even Ben S. Clarke.
