re: #46 pink freud

Don’t get me started! I was told by an esteemed academician the other day that we could no longer cite the statistic opinion that broken/fatherless homes contributed to the extreme high rates of black male crime/incarceration, as it has now been determined that single mother/fatherless homes are now considered to be the “cultural norm” for the African American culture, thereby having no attributable effect within that population.

/I keep waiting for my head to explode.

They are telling you that abject failure is not only an excuse, it is the norm. Basic American principles and values have now been officially swept out to sea by the stroke of a Harvard grad’s pen. We’ve entered a world of pure abstraction in which the rules are invented by our “elites.” And the majority of the electorate is watching “American Idol.” In what way is this not “Animal Farm”?
