One Response to “American political rationale”

   It’s interesting…there is an episode of the CBS drama (I can’t remember the name now) that has received so much protest as to its moral nature. The episode that got so much flak was a rerun. When the original episode came out, not one person complained about it. Why the rerun then? Because a “watchdog” organization mentioned it in a fund-raising letter and told people to protest the program. Many people did, having never watched it even once. Fund-raising works if you use enmity as your trigger point.
