I'll pass with the poetry today; not in a very poetic mood. This incident in the news with Jimmy Kimmel and his "insult" of Detroit has kind of gotten me a little upset. If you're unfamiliar with what happened, his joke was,"They're going to burn the city of Detroit down if the Pistons win, and it's not worth it." They took his show off the air and gave him all this grief for a statement that is absolute fact. Even when the Detroit Red Wings win a championship, the city goes bonkers and burns down at least 2 blocks...and that's a strictly white man's sport. Political correctness has gone bonkers in this country; here in California they decided to remove this tiny cross on our seal that's on top of a mission. You know, one of the defining characteristics of this state's inception. Apparently, actual historical fact was just too much for the ACLU to take, so they decided to threaten lawsuits against it. The spineless legislatures we have were frightened into removing under the explanation that they want to not "offend" anyone. This whole concept of a right to not be offended really pisses me off. The irony is that the people who are all in favor of free speech or the bastardization of it which is known as "expression" are the first people to demonize and try and outlaw things that offend them. Do as I say, not as I do. And if you disagree with me, I'll make sure you're run up on a hate crime.
