So then, why are these same individuals so willing to pay for this act to be committed in their name? In the days since the massive recall of millions of pounds of animals’ flesh, I hope we all recognize that individual responsibility is as important as industry accountability...

She will become...
...children will live warped little lives where they understand nothing of current programming, because I will have deemed it unworthy and instead they will be enriched by what I deem the real classics. But if sales are still going strong, maybe I will buy them that Care Bear stuffed animal??even if its somewhat giant skull unnerves me—because they sure-as-heck won’t be watching that CGI-ed “Care Bears” movie. Yet the exploitation of nostalgia will continue to kill me inside. Those moments our generation waited...
