Sounds like gun control. A handful of vermin (who should be in jail for
life after a 1st offence if real justice prevaled) cause laws to be enacted
that deprive everyone. It's the same all the time, everywhere, with
everything.
There was for a while on a US cable channel the "Jungle-bunny Bimbo
Faggot Show" run by some one who was not a racist mysoganist anti gay
but some one who was VERY pissed off with all the political correctness
that he thought ended up trivialising the real issues and distracting
from the real racist and anti gay or anti female stuff.
As he said 99.9% of female models (fashion or porn) are in it because
they want to be and are making a fortune at it. They are empowered and
call the shots themselves. They are not being exploited.
Many of the complaints on things like the "plane insane" are from people
with real problems who need therapy not pandering to.
I have notices that US films will have mass murder and killings but can
not show a female nipple. It is quite amusing to see a fill where
dozens of people are shot, stabbed, blown up etc but when there is a sex
scene of "wild passionate sex" the female actress despite being in bed
keeps her bra on and "the following morning" hops out of bed still
wearing bra and panties..
So what are we teaching our young people? That murder and killing is
fine but the human body is offensive?

Bear in mind that our revered founders were a bunch of stiff-necked
hyper-religious loons who couldn't hack it in civilized society.
One hopes that eventually we'll recover from that inauspicious beginning.

Not according to many competent historians.

One can always hope, but until ugly, divisive campaigns stop
working for an extended period, politics as usual won't allow that
recovery. Didn't you notice the talking heads telling us that Obama
is an anti-Christian, Islamic, treasonous socialist intent on
destroying America? The author of the immensely popular "Left
Behind" series recently said that Obama wasn't the Anti-Christ, but
only because there are still so many that dislike him, that if his
popularity was near universal, it would indicate that he was the
A-C, and that the end times would be near. Oh lordy, lordy, what
fools these mortals be. :)

Other similar quotes from George Washington, John Adams (who wrote
"This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no
religion in it!"), Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ethan Allen and
Benjamin Franklin. These "founding fathers" were much more
outspoken in their day, and not given to being so politically and
religiously correct. Can you imagine one of today's pols. being as
forthright as Ethan Allen, who said :
> Ethan Allen, whose capture of Fort Ticonderoga while commanding
> the Green Mountain Boys helped inspire Congress and the country
> to pursue the War of Independence, said, "That Jesus Christ was not
> God is evidence from his own words." In the same book, Allen noted
> that he was generally "denominated a Deist, the reality of which I
> never disputed, being conscious that I am no Christian." When
> Allen married Fanny Buchanan, he stopped his own wedding ceremony
> when the judge asked him if he promised "to live with Fanny Buchanan
> agreeable to the laws of God." Allen refused to answer until the judge
> agreed that the God referred to was the God of Nature, and the laws
> those "written in the great book of nature."

and you hope that we'll eventually recover? One hopes we survive
long enough for that possibility, but it won't happen anytime soon.
