How about that? By being bizarre in the naming, Don doesn't even need to change the place holder. And hey, if you haven't read John Hawfield's article on the Cultureless Society, please read that first, as it impinges directly on my editorial. Which appropriately is "Triple X". George Santayana, a notable philosopher, coined the phrase, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." And we now have teachers who know little history, and as the cowboy-philosopher Will Rogers said, "What they know ain't so."

And so we have the dumbing of America (and other places, but as I live here, I see my ox being gored) the crudifying of America, and hatred and occasionally mindless attacks on the best and the finest of all sorts. Three Xs. Three strikes. And yes, three strikes and you're out.
