Just when you thought nostalgia for the 'good old days' of the 40s and 50s and a nice easy, homogenous society was taking over, two things come along to remind us of the not-so-good. First, Good Night and Good Luck (watch the trailer) to remind us of McArthyist witchhunting, and the cruel reality of polio making an appearance in the US for the first time since 1979.
Not so much fun any more, is it? Quick, name the two countries that have had polio cases in 2005. If you guessed the US and Nigeria, you win the gold ring. Take the bloody vaccine, huh people? Strange that people will ignore the extinction of mammalian, amphibian and reptilian species, but won't lift a finger to actively pursue the extinction of something as onerous as Poliovirus. take the shot, and let's get rid of the damn thing, once and for all, shall we?
By the way, to remind us of some of the good old stuff, Studs Terkel was on Nightline tonight. Go out, buy one of his books and think of what the Left is supposed to be about: people.
