THE CORRUPTION OF PUBLIC DISCOURSE

In my humble opinion, ShrinkWrapped has the quote of the week in his thoughtful piece yesterday about immigration:
In the 35 years since the children of the 60's began to insinuate their way into positions of influence and power, they have corrupted much of our public discourse beyond recognition. Those who believe there is something special and worth fighting for in this nation are regularly derided as cowboys, fascists, and racists.


Ain't it the truth.

My spoiled, petulant, and entitled generation has a lot to answer for. Too bad they're not very good at accepting responsibility for the consequences of their behavior, either.
