"Does television corrupt American morals or do American morals corrupt television?"
It seems to me that American morals and television (and indeed other forms of mass media as well) are currently locked in a deadly embrace, dragging one another ever closer to the abyss.
Definitely the latter. Think about it: Doesn’t a man’s upbringing and moral guidance from his parents/guardians override all other influences from such sources as the media? It is the American people’s complacency and subservience towards fraudulent yet tempting sources of centralized authority which FEEDS those sources of authority to begin with, and gives them incentive to churn out more and more depraved “entertainment” for the sheeple to consume. Destroy all the alphabet TV companies, decentralize all the news and entertainment media outlets by leaving such matters to the states and keeping the slithering hands of New York, Los Angeles, and the Beltway off of them, and then you’ve got a good start to your mission to straighten America’s moral compass. Yet with each Desperate Housewives DVD deliberately bought and each Dancing with the Stars episode deliberately watched by the American people, they show that they have deliberately repudiated their status as a nation of people and the system of morals required therewith, and that they would prefer to be ruled rather than rule themselves. The already-existing moral corruption of complacency in the face of centralization and power created the Hollywood “entertainment” monster, and in the end it will be responsible for keeping it going until we are destroyed.
Destroying the American middle class is the GOAL of our rulers, not something happening under their noses that they happen to be missing.
An organization “too big to fail” means basically that it owns us and rules over us and feeds off of us.
The South and its culture – which IS still alive, albeit hanging by a thread from what I’ve heard – are a threat to the Empire’s power. Therefore one of our ruling parties will look to it as a perennial voting base as the GOP has done since Goldwater, but one of their own never can be and never will be a candidate for the highest office in the land.
