Write your reply.

assistant: I was being facetious, but only partly so.  Another poster mentioned
that your ability to raise campaign money is a marker of your ability
to raise support, but I think that's only valid at the local level
anymore.  Consider that it costs millions of dollars to get a
Senate seat these days.  So who has millions of dollars?  You?  No.
Me?  No.  So who does?  And we're kidding ourselves if we think
that money isn't buying a compliant candidate.  It affects both
parties, and look how it biases the whole process away from
the American people as a whole.  That's why there will never
be anything like real campaign reform.
I have no idea.  I'm not sure what your point is here.  One of the
dirty little secrets of the whole ideological Hollywood controversy
is that putting increasing amounts of sex and violence into movies
is a very sound, conservative, practical way to make a lot of money.
If you reply that liberal values are being put into Hollywood
movies, I will reply that the absolutely amazing amounts of
violence in many of those movies is hardly an expression of
liberal values, yet there it is.  And there's a reason:  it's a
good investment.
I recall that there were some wealthy Hollywood contributors
to Clinton's '92 campaign, and who probably got him into that
idiotic fiasco about the 'gays in the military' thing.
But you have to recall that California also produced a Senator
known as "B-2 Bob" (I've forgotten his last name), who was also
known by his critics as "The Senator From Lockheed."  And he was
from the 'left coast.'  It works both ways.
The more expensive national politics becomes, the farther it is
shifted away from the American people, no matter where they are
on the political spectrum.

        That is true.  Ya know, I don't even like to think about Mz.
Degenerates.  Over the years, I noticed one thing about comedians.  Some
on't
realize that people go to see them to laughand get away from the crap in the
world.
        Dick Gregory was a black comedian who was hilarious.  Then he got
nto
the race thing.  Then he was faded out.  Pernel Roberts was a popular actor
n
Bonanza, then he went Civil Rights Active, then he went.  Tool Time began to
get serious while they were number one.  Then Kelsey Grammer's show became
first in ratings.
        Red Skelton, Bob Hope, Bill Cosby, and the greats, all kept it
confined to funny stuff and continued without the social issues.  I think
Mz. Degenerates will not last too long.  And too, when one is without G-d,
they tend to age more rapidly.  If you've seen the person close up on TV, you
will recall that she is really aging fast.
        What was it proverbs said?  "A merry heart is medicine for the soul,
but a broken spirit dries up the bones."  Personally, I liked the Tool Time
show, but it doesn't sit well with me that the father of the family is always
a bumbling fool.  Same with Al Budny.
        So, I feel that if we just ignore the cancers of society, they will
eventually disappear.
