One of the first that I can remember that drank deeply from the cup of PC stupidity. The kick-ass main character, the expedition leader, was a young woman. The next in line was a manly man. A black. And the sole white male character of any prominence was an sniveling beta. <br /><br />A friend of mine is acquainted with a gent who was a member of the Dutch resistance. He came here and served in the Army infantry during Korea. He remarked to my friend that the propaganda in the US of late is worse than what it was in occupied Holland.<br /><br />I still take heart from the witticism, "Don't piss up my back and tell me it's rain." I am not taken with the idea that the schools "indoctrinate" kids. Maybe it's just me but it never occurred to me in schools to accept particular facts or assertions as the last word on anything. A high school teacher presented a sympathetic picture of the Indians and I accepted that. Later information about certain realities of Indian-white interaction came in without any kind of a "conditioned" resistance. It was just new information. <br /><br />Still, why do I not see more of the skepticism exemplified by the quoted sentence? I have a dear friend who's very smart and an accomplished lawyer yet he's absolutely wedded to the danger we face from "climate change." He has real energy on that score and the idea that the whole concept has a certain shaky provenance is something he would reject out of hand. No Irish need apply. I have another great friend who's in absolute denial on the issue of vote fraud now. The NYT said there is none and case closed. As Igor said in "Young Frankenstein," "What hump?"Col. B.

There are several elements I didn't mention because I didn't want to risk overstating the case or being boring, but I hadn't thought of that one.Francis W.

I commented to my wife" You notice the optics?" She looked and commented..."So the police officer is being an ass..." I replied "Look again...the sole WHITE police officer was being an ass, everyone else was other than...and they were getting along great....It is in every TV show, now if someone is being an ass...its going to be a white guy....they can't do it any other way, might offend some group".

The NO spinoff was worse with terrible 'science' and an implied romantic tie that failed a reality check (along with a basically illiterate character being the only one who could transcribe Morse code) I gave the whole thing up. Haven't been back to TV since.<br /><br />I did, however read most if not all of your ?Oneora? county books more than once, willingly suspending disbelief!

No matter what the terrorist attack was, it was always carried out or masterminded by middle-aged white men. Usually middle managers or businessmen. <br /><br />Eventually, my willing suspension of disbelief broke. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.com
