If you think people are delusional now, just remember how they used to be.

Serling discusses being shut down by sponsors for trying to address the Emmett Till case, and receiving many complaints from a โ€œlunatic fringe of letter writersโ€ about an episode of Lassie wherein the iconic collie has puppies. Some wacko viewers felt that the episode promoted sexuality.

And bestiality, too! After all it wasnโ€™t stated that the puppies werenโ€™t sired by little Timmy, after all!

The 1950s sounds just terrible. Glad I didnโ€™t have to suffer through that lost decade.

Next car

For my next car, Iโ€™ll probably either get a 2015 Mustang or a Subaru BRZ.

Mustang, you say? Yeah, I used to hate them, too. But the 2015 model has really upped everything โ€“ quality (including the used-to-be-terrible interior), the suspension and the ride, even including adjustable suspension. And they offer near-German quality at a much much more affordable price.

Sorry, I wonโ€™t pay $15,000 extra so I can buy something that says โ€œBMWโ€ on the badge to impress all my co-workers. Impressing people means nothing to me. Having a car I enjoy driving when I must drive is what matters to me.

Really, itโ€™s all that matters to me.

I doubt itโ€™ll exceed the Pontiac GTO โ€“ by far the most fun car to drive Iโ€™ve ever owned โ€“ but in this case close enough is good enough.
