Actually, it's the lack of culture; it's fake culture... It's we've lost our soul culture, and anything goes, culture, you're right... But, I think Don Imus apologized for his mistake, and make a huge statement, to stir the pot, of self-reflection, of the cultural pot of which you speak, sir. But, I still believe Imus was an excellent forum for discussion, and I am saddened that he was crucified, last week, by those same forces.
