European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 24, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse I Page 13&Quot Ai i. \ a a s3a&eifc6lai�i�s3�fiwhen the pc types push for a Joe Bob Briggs a goes to the drive in vre five years Down the Road since the term a politically corrects was invented. At first i thought this was a Good thing. We needed words to describe the kind of self righteous Goody two shoes Jer Kolas who slobber heir slogans of Over everybody else. But a strange thing happened once the pc wars started. The politically Correct people became even More retarded. I mean in 1989 maybe they were just say ing that All White male heterosexual authors should be banned from the Library. By 1994, after being branded a pc Quot All this time they were saying that lesbians and Blacks invented everything that civilization is based on but it was i of Enby the aggressive de stroj ing White male who should now be transported to Papua new Guinea and kept in a another strange thing happened. All through the years 19s3 to 1989,1 made fun of All kinds of Liberal organizations a feminists ethnic rights groups Gays lesbos. T founded Damm a drunks against a mad mothers. I made fun of conservative groups too because i ii make fun of anybody but during a those years 1933. To 1989, the liberals were the Best a targets because they always fought Back because Many of them were in positions of Power and Bea cause they always got mad if you made fun of them. So during those years was frequently attacked in the Media. Columnists said 1 was a insensitive a Molly Ivins said on More than one occasion that iwas picking on the poor and the helpless and the. Powerless and that satire was to be used Only on the Rich and powerful thanks for the journalism lesson Molly and everybody a ways got upset if i picked on Black politicians even if they were from the loonie fringe and even if they were outright liars. And this was relentless a behind the scenes publicly everywhere a with people saying Joe bobs a racist Joe Bob is sexist Joe Bob is homophobic Joe Bob is this or that then after this a political correctness business started All that stopped. And the same people who had attacked me Between 19.83 and 19s9 were n of writing columns about How wrong the political correctness movement is and How silly it was when someone representing the poor or the helpless uses that position to repress somebody else Ato which i say please come get both these groups a the pc flame throwers and the Media types who express an opinion Only when there a no risk in pressing it a and get Emra jobs like picking up trash on the interstate.

Simpson mess i now do you explain to a 10-y car old an entire nations fascination with this Story what do we Tell our children about heroes because produce children a television news programs a few people seem to think i might actually about kids. They Are wrong. I am. Not a child expert of any kind i was not even a particularly Good Mother pm trying to he a better one now but Tny children Are 24 and 2s�?z therefore consider what in a about to. Say to be nothing More than. One woman a mostly uninformed Opin with the most obvious. Remind kids that. . Simpson has Only been charged with murder not convicted. Most kids already know that in. America you arc innocent until proven guilty but with this Story a As Harding or Michael Jackson a its easy to forget about the presumption of innocence. Ask kids if they think Simpson is Guil. To. If they do ask them Why they think that. Is it because of what they be seen on to this is a Good Way to open a discussion with your child about the effect of television on what we think. The second thing to talk about with your kids is. The nature of television itself. When we see people on television we Sec them up dose we Are right in their faces. We look directly into their eyes. If we were devastated when his wife was murdered and he was implicated perhaps because we thought we ape him. But we did no to. What we had done was to mistake the closeness of the camera for intimacy when they Are not the same thing at All. You see cameras car lie and people who work on television do know How to use the camera to make people like them. Often their livelihood depends on people liking them. That does no to make them bad people. Its just part of their Job r if they want to keep their Job. Anyway done to most of us wish to be Well thought of by others its called putting ones Best foot Forward. Discuss this with your kids. Talk about other people they Sec on television. Ask your children what they think that person is really Tike. Ask your Chil Drin if they think they know a person Well from watching them on to forget murder a ask your child if . Simpson of offs like a Man who would beat up his wife. Listen hard o what they Tell you. Finally if we re going to continue to constantly read and hear stories about a a fallen hero a you might want to talk to children about what makes a hero. What Are the values you wish to convey to your child about heroics is someone a hero because he is a Large Man who can run while earning a Ball past other Large men or is a hero something else a something More this is a Fine Opportunity to let your child know what you values Are what you think is important and worthy of admiration. Its also a Fine Opportunity to find out what your kid s values a Are. A there a one More thing you can say to your child about this whole subject. You can Promise your child that violence w in never be a part of your family s life. Then you can make sure you mean that. And so it goes. Kirg pc est a r?2 i 2., sunday. July 2-1, 1334
