Careers, Education and Life
How far we have come regarding what can be printed and presented to the public. Yes, it is true that some people have pushed the "envelope" way too far (pornography, filth, etc) but just consider when many of us Baby Boomers watched television. Remember Edward R. Murrow? Back in the 50's, he made a documentary for CBS called "Harvest of Shame". It aired the day after Thanksgiving and really shifted public opinion about migrant farm workers. It was surprising at that time, that CBS allowed Murrow to make such a film--remember this was the McCarthy era....and if you ruffled feathers, you could be blacklisted, put in jail--hard to believe that America was like that only 50 years ago.
In watching the President last night regarding the state of the union, the Democratic rebuttal came immediately after the address and Mr. Webb minced NO words. This would have been unheard of even 40 years ago!! You didn't insult a VIP, much less the President of the United States. So we have really come a long way--both in positive ways and negative ways.
Poor ol Bushie Boy! He is really having a hard time and people are seeing him for he really is--a man who got lucky because of his birthright. He was never suited to be President, I don't know what people were thinking when they elected him in 2000. I can forgive those in 2000, but the ignoramuses in 2004 are entirely another story--the London Times was right--how could 10 million people be SO dumb?? So all of you heavy handed, Neo-Con Repubs out there, we have only you to blame for the situation, graft, greed, financial blood-letting, ignorant mistakes that are going on now!!! Yay for you--I applaud you for your ignorance and stupid flag waving!!
