Blow! Hard!

Is it only america that has an infatuation with shock-jocks and talkshow windbags? The average Joe/Jane Asshole seems to rally around these blowhards. They see someone who is allowed to spew unchecked at the mouth while they feel continually more oppressed by this litigious and politically correct culture. The argument may go that this general censorship is the problem and these loudmouths are just societal indicators of it. However would it really be a good thing to let all these repressed persons overtly express their racist fears, hormonal slobbering, intolerances, and general cruelty? Rules are made to be broken and boundaries are meant to be pushed; this is the human credo. The usual argument for rules is that they are enacted in the interest of the vast majority and meant to protect them from humanity's seedy few. Theoretically nothing could be simpler than to agree with the idyllic notion of a pure, free society. But when exposed to humanity's Lowest Common Denominators most folks quickly change their tune. It could be argued as well that these rules are put in place by a minority to protect the vast majority from the vast majority. Ultimately, grudgingly, I suppose it's better to "let 'em spew" with the hopes that through open dialogue, better understanding and tolerance will be achieved. But (assuming your position is even correct) how often have you ever been able to convince someone enough to sway him/her to your point of view?


Kellogg's corn flakes with real bananas
-By the time the dried bananas have softened enough in the milk to become tasty, the flakes have gotten soggy. Skip it and just buy some normal corn flakes and a few fresh bananas (oh, $.79 /lb. too rich for your blood you lazy ass?)
