Oh Fuck, did I just curse?

Filed Under Babbling, Commentary on the News 

South Pasedena recently became a profanity free zone. No, I’m serious. Just think about it: a whole town full of Ned Flanders‘, venting frustration, “Gosh diddily darn it,” every time someone cut them off.

Or even worse, the high school student who called her administrators “douchebags” and said she was “pissed off” in her blog. Yeah, I’m still serious. Think about that one: I’d be shit-canned for this blog’s title and sentence alone.

The number of stories about absurd things like this in the news that I read just seems to slowly grow daily. We’re all so concerned about free speech and censorship that it seems like we forget that we’re close to living in a real legitimate era of Big Brother. The Protect America Act of 2007–which thank God hasn’t been renewed–makes me wake up daily and wonder why I haven’t moved from this country.

And I shouldn’t. Seriously. We complain about all of this crap, but in the end, we have the greatest civil liberties to show for it.

Even if we can’t express how we’re “pissed off” sometimes, gosh diddily darn it…
