I just think it’s a bizarre attitude. Akin to not listening to any music because of Gangster Rap and not reading anything because of select books.

I have been to plays, operas, stage reviews, concerts, athletic events galore, and country music festivals and other events where weirdos don’t try to insult my intellegence or morals, nor pander to outrageous causes in the name of art. I read considerably more than the average person and my choices range from mystery to Shakespeare. I enjoy history and biography. I spent many years as a military officer and still keep up with professional reading in that field. I have read great literature in English, Latin, French and Spanish, but I don’t read garbage in any language nor listen to it nor watch it. IMHO what’s bizarre is a person with a modicum of education or taste who intentionally exposes himself to trash. Life’s too short to spend any of it sifting through garbage for some occasional nugget when there’s a gold mine right at hand.
