Some depth

Submitted by mole333 on 10 April 2007 - 9:43pm.

I never liked Imus. Never. But...

I got a new respect for him and his wife after reading John Kerry's book. They are doing some amazing things both with cancer patients and in trying to create healthier environments in schools and hospitals. They are doing some very great things with their success.

None of that changes what he did or what he represents on the air. But it does add depth to what otherwise (both on his show and in our responses to him) is usually a two-dimensional representation of Imus.

I have been considering a diary on this depth and the complexities of the issue, but haven't been able to get into it yet. Maybe that is indicative, but I will keep considering it.

Words to live by "Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race - the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions." — Mark Twain, American Writer The Mysterious Stranger - The Chronicles of Young Satan Subscribe Buttons
