The other day I was reading and for some stupid reason had not turned the Idiot Box off. It was on the cartoon channel where the grands had been watching. A cartoon went off. Commercials came on. And stayed on and stayed on and stayed on and stayed on. When I started counting, they stayed on for SEVEN more minutes. Those commercials had to have stayed on for 9 to 10 minutes!!! Just slamming children with YOU GOTTA HAVE THIS, YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT, TELL MOMMY AND DADDY TO GET YOU THIS. Boom, boom, boom, just slamming them.
I use the comparison of the “How to boil a frog alive”. We see ourselves as “frogs” that got out of the water in 1997 and afterward realized it was already really hot. Now we dip our toe in when in public places or at relatives. It is absolutely boiling, now.
I think it, coupled with the infestation of internet porn, will be the undoing of western civilization. I think it already IS the undoing...
