True confession time. I stole that headline from Beowulf pioneer Thomas Sterling. As Thomas had originally intended, I am sure it sparked some reaction. Of course, sensational headlines generate pageviews, but they also help drive home important points. As a writer, there is no better reward than hungry readers devouring every word in search of some truth or insight. The only problem is it is not my headline nor my insight.
