Laissez-faire

One of the Rutgers basketball players say she is ‘scarred for life’ by Don Imus’ stupid “nappy-headed hos” comment.

Wow.

“Scarred for life.”

Up to now, I had no idea of what it takes to “scar someone for life.”

In my simple mind I was thinking that it took something a bit more significant; consider say:

- The grieving family of a serviceman or policeman who gave his life in the line of duty

- The grieving parents of a child murdered by a predator

Or even perhaps ………

- Seeing airplanes piloted by Islamofascist lunatics crashing planes into buildings in NY City

- Seeing schoolchildren in Breslin Russia machine-gunned in the back as they fled from the Islamofascist lunatics who kidnapped them

- Seeing civilians beheaded by Islamofascist lunatics

- Seeing Madrid trains blown up by Islamofascist lunatics

- Seeing London trains blown up by Islamofascist lunatics

- Etc. Etc.

Silly me !!

In my mind there is only one REALLY frightening thing that resulted from this incident: the following quote which scares the hell out of me, and which should likewise scare everyone who gives a damn about this country …..

“It is our feeling that this is only the beginning. We must have a broad discussion on what is permitted and not permitted in terms of the airwaves” — Al Sharpton
