Strangeness of Society

I generally do not follow beauty contests, and I did not watch the Miss USA pageant where Perez Hilton disgraced the pageant process. How can a virtual nobody and catty homosexual be selected to judge female pulchritude? How can a normal view of marriage be deemed controversial or even scandalous? How can Jamie Foxx impugn an underage girl in a most vile manner and remain on the air? How can 24, with a large conservative audience, hire and retain an overt and obnoxious ultra-leftist as one of the show's stars? Who is going to stand against this decay?
