Actions vs. Words

Why does it worry old white men? It has nothing to do with old white men. I'm neither old or a white man. It has to do with the fact that I don't want to live in a mealy mouthed country where I have to walk on eggshells when I speak, nor do I imagine what Imus says has any affect on me whatsoever.

If I were a woman on Rutgers, I wouldn't demand an apology. I wouldn't have even noticed what he said. I wouldn't care. My response would've been, "Imus, who?"

If "decent" people had their way, we'd have no porn, violence in movies, Howard Stern, or Eminem. And I like all those things. While I can enjoy "The King and I," as much as the next dork, I also want to see Commando, Brokeback Mountain, listen to Eminem and Howard Stern. I'm wary of anyone who errs on the side of political correctness when it comes to issues of speech. What we need to learn is how to toughen up and get smarter and wittier, not more sensitive.
