As so many have pointed out, privately. I was referring to a time before the media was uhm...expatriciated. Anybody care to cast a lot for their picks of Net/new media written in the spirit of gentil intellection? ~Aimee

A larger point is that THOUGHT PRESUPPOSES LANGUAGE. By limiting your language to the lowest common denominator, your limit the 'lodestar' of the sign vehicles. American media speaks in the lowest common denominator in the interest of social justice and convenience. Some feel it has worked an equal injustice by hobbling our ability to THINK. "The limits of my language are the limits of my mind." (Wittgenstein)
Not in the interests of social justice. In the interests of advertising, sales, and ratings.
