Bill,

It's the Gospel According To Henny Youngman School Of Philosophy. One-liners all. Saves ink cartridges and can sound o.k. even when it isn't. And it gave rise to the bumper sticker industry. (Those held on more than one bumper on cars I've owned.) The worst example of this school's teachings permeating our whole society has been "sound bites", "spin" and the banter on what passes for "news shows" on television now...

Where is Klatu now that we need him?? He robably has been driven completely out of his Gort ! But the R.p.u.e does sound like science fiction to me. This from folks who won't let their kids see Harry Potter or L.O.T.R.

As Herb Morrison said on WLS-radio so long ago when a blimp caught fire, "Oh, the humanity."
