I am the farthest thing from being puritanical, but I commented to Wendy the other day when we were watching something, words to the effect that we're living in a really vulgar era and I find it offensive. As late as when I was in university we, as males, rarely if ever uttered the 'f-word' within the earshot of a female, and virtually never heard a female offer the expletive. Now you hear it all the time on the streets, along with worse. I think broadcasting should get back to the idea of elevating people just a little bit.Ian Lidsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106994463366766471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14769049.post-22593293307301301252009-04-28T08:55:00.000-07:002009-04-28T08:55:00.000-07:00Stephen: The Toni Morrison reference offers a fre...Stephen: The Toni Morrison reference offers a fresh perspective.

As Toni Morrison said in her book, The Bluest Eye (paraphrase: We are not strong -- only aggressive, not free -- only licensed, not compassionate -- only polite, not good -- only well behaved).Stephen A.
