This one's actually pretty good. It brings up some interesting points.

Maybe the prison abuses are nothing so much as a symptom of an America this is increasingly crass and increasingly willing to consider debasement as entertainment.



Yes, I certainly agree with you, G-man, and Sammitch, and (astonishingly !) Whomod who posted it, on this particular issue.

The shock value and celebration of perversion, that's been increasing over the last 20 years, certainly figures into what happened in Abu Ghraib, and in countless domestic crimes in the U.S.

It happens when shocking things are relentlessly exploited in our news and entertainment, to the point that they are no longer shocking.

Although Whomod, consistent with his many other posts, seems to believe that any perversion should be allowed under free speech.
I suspect he posted this comic strip just to take another dig at Bush and America in general. Not for Whomod to point out that it's the fruit born of his own twisted notions of free speech.
Which it is.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
