I don’t blame the film industry for the statutory rape and underage drug use instigated by Roman Polanski (although I do blame sympathizers like Debra Winger, who need to wake up and smell the need for justice to be done)…
I don’t blame capitalism for the greed-headedness of many corporate CEOs (although I do blame Michael Moore for condemning an economic system that allows him to make his films)…
I don’t blame mass media for the excesses and blatant lies coming from Fox News (although I do blame Rupert Murdoch for making profits from his warping of the news industry)…
I don’t blame the medical system in America for the continued criminal neglect inflicted by the medical insurance system (although I do blame Congresscritters for allowing Big Insurance to remove their balls)…
I don’t blame the Christian religion for the hypocrisy and hatred perpetuated by right-wing fundie nutballs (although I blame the Pope for not rooting out the rape and pedophilia that he passively condones)…
I don’t blame those who find “alternative” lifestyles personally distasteful (although I would fight to the death to preserve the right for others to practice any sort of sexual act as long as it is among consenting adults)…
…and I don’t blame the food industry for trying to make food as affordable as possible (although I would personally strangle with my own hands those who push corn syrup, artificial preservatives, and substandard, filth-laden food on unwitting consumers).
So mote be it.
I am not a David Letterman fan by any stretch of the imagination. I think his humor (the style of which I call “New York humor”) isn’t very funny. (I put Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, and Larry David in the same category; I’ve yet to even smile at anything said on the old Seinfeld sitcom–except the Soup Nazi.)
