Reply #25: "people who would... remake our culture..."

So you're a mind-reader now. :)

Well - it is what comes to mind. Because it was legislated and change did happen because of that legislation. Although it wasn't only about the legislation.


If there was a shift in the culture such as what happened with the civil rights movement - for women - then columnists who cheered for the gang-rapists would be fired. Just like Limbaugh or whoever it was that was fired from ESPN - wasn't it - for his racial comments. It wouldn't be tolerated.

And actually - I think there are people who are making the culture more unacceptable all the time. That is part of the culture that tolerates torture, and pre-emptive war and all of that. And the degradation of women as entertainment.


There is a thread about it in Editorials:

The Double Standards of the United States

"I fear there has been a brutal shift of morality in the 'new normal' US - and it may never be the same again"
