Don't be too hard on them, Diki. I heard Uncle Dave once ran for political office and came flat out against slavery.....in principle.

One thing I've learned, having lived in various parts of the country. Compared to South Jersey/South Philly, Georgia is like a bastion of Liberalism. At least Southerners will let you know how they REALLY feel. What's sad is that a lot of these people work in areas where they are in a position to mold and shape the minds and attitudes of our children, thereby assuring that these biases and predjudices will be safely passed on to the next generation. This is why the world never seems to get any better.

It's easy to see how the poorly educated, low-information populace can be mislead and manipulated by the likes of Rush, Sean, etc. (millionaire's all, by virtue by exploiting ignorance and peddling hatred), but to see educated, otherwise intelligent individuals, fall prey to the same drivel, is puzzling indeed.

I was pleased to see Donny note that everyone has the right to choose to listen to something or 'turn it off' without impuning someone elses right to choose.

I know that many of you long for the days of yesteryear when the Brady Bunch ruled the airways and America set the standard for decency (in our minds) for the entire world (despite segregation, suppression of Women's rights, and every other abuse society has managed to come up with through the years).

Oh, and by the way, let's look at a sample of some music from that era. How about Cole Porter's 'Love for Sale', a jazz and Broadway standard covered by nearly every major artist since it was written in 1930. A sample of the lyrics - (by prostitute)
"If you'd like to sample my wares, follow me and climb the stairs, I've got LOVE FOR SALE". One of my favorite tunes, btw, but then again, I'm one of those damn liberals.

Like music from the 'good ol' days'? Listen to Billie Holiday's (or Nina Simone's) 'STRANGE FRUIT'.
