Don Imus, the TV and radio talkster, has
been fired by CBS. Whether or not you know who he is, did or did not
listen to his daily nonsense, and even if you never heard of him
before reading this sentence, is not relevant. |
|
However, the Don Imus situation is
now significant to you and to all Americans. The Don Imus case
sets a high-profile pseudo-standard which will likely be adhered to
by today's many weak-charactered lame leaders who have garnered most
of the powerful media and political positions. |
|
Your US Constitutionally-guaranteed
freedom of speech has been erased and nullified. The Don Imus case
proves in a broad implicit and pop-quasi-legal manner that your
unqualified freedom of speech has been usurped. You may now be
censured by any institution, group, and many individuals who may --
at their whimsical, self-serving notion -- choose to whine, shout,
and picket long and loud enough. The Imus example is a high-profile
proof. The long-time creeping restriction of your speech has now
solidly arrived. |
|
You no longer have the right to say
whatever nonsense you choose to say. Your right to openly make a
complete jackass of yourself, your right to verbally prove that you
are a moron, your right to jabber any nonsense at any time no longer
exists. |

The good aspect of the Imus event is
that his low-class nonsense is off the airwaves. The bad aspect is
that his low-class nonsense will likely be replaced by a lower caliber of
low-class nonsense. |
