Perpetual State Of Agitation
County Press ^ | By Joe O'Loughlin

Posted on 02/25/2006 6:59:11 AM PST by Tribune7

How often do you hear a Public Service Announcement (PSA) on TV or radio? You hear warnings about the dangers of smoking, drinking, improper diet, lack of exercise as well as taking proactive measures of regularly scheduled screenings for early detection of diseases, etc.

These are all fine and worthy endeavors.

PSA's have become a free outlet for spreading socialist policies and ideas. The "Ad Council" is little more than a front for liberal causes. And you're paying for it.

"Perpetual State Of Agitation"

No kidding. Hysteria, emotional hysteria. Save this, save that. Bah humbug.

Right now, I'm trying to stop that deadly "global warming" all by myself. I'm also trying to hold up the ozone layer too. I could die any minute now.

I always laugh when my "friends" ("liberals") or relatives express their "concerns and fears" about "global warming" and tell them that it's all bravo sierra. They're much more likely to die from being struck by lightning or one of those deadly SUV's than by "global warming".

We are disease-aholics.

It's OK if people die. They do it every damn day. It's part of mother natures plan. It helps fight "global warming" by restoring you to room temperature. It's a "good thing".

Never. I don't watch Oprah and I get my news from the internet and Rush.

It's a good thing that the ad council is there, because without them, I don't know, I might want be mean to people because they are different. Now I know better.

Thank you, Ad Council.
