The problem is well known- they so overstate their case that when the victim of their smarmy fantasies about "good clean fun" figures out they are wrong, then all hell breaks loose. This country needs an ironic voice like H L Mencken and some leadership with real moral authority, not a bunch of aphorisms from small minded teachers from the burbs.
