How does the liberal code of movie production run, like this?
1) Aim low then lower still. Hate you country, let the bad win, let the good
suffer. Bamboozle, perplex.
2) Incorrect standards of life will be seen as thought provoking: man
married to sister both marrying a sheep. Vegan cats. . . .
Very funny.
I would point out a few things that you seem to be missing:
1. The laws I quoted were actually on the books and enforced by the
government, for decades. You seem to have the romantic notion that in
the past people were free and now they are hemmed in. Did you know
about the Production Codes? Did you notice that movies made before
1968 were uniform and different from ones made today? Have your read
books, novels and newspapers from the past? You should. It will give
you better perspective on the present.
2. I am a liberal and my family has been liberal since we came to
North America sometime in the 17th or 18th century (presumable from
Rothwell, England via the Isle of Wight.) We do not believe in such
things and we never have. You seem to have the notion that anything
you despise or find ridiculous is "liberal." This is silly.
3. The U.S. is preeminently a liberal country; the constitution and
government even more than the people in a sense, because when people
are shown the Bill of Rights from the Constitution they often declare
these rights un-American. I was at a CNN conference in the late
1990s, when blogging and the Internet were becoming hot topics. Some
mainstream journalists were aghast that "ordinary people are allowed
to publish news without a license" as one of them put it.
