Where are the Clowns?

If this 4-1/2 minute video doesn't make you tear up thinking of all we have lost (and are in the process of losing still) I don't know what will.

I hope my kids will some day discover that there was a time in America when funny men and women could make us laugh at ourselves, our politicians and even our culture without anyone seriously taking offense. Perhaps they will learn that if a society must curtail its speech for fear of offending anyone, it will ultimately offend everyone.

Enjoy this piece of nostalgia, and note Orson Welles' prophetic lament at the end. Unfortunately the clowns in the video are amateurs compared to the ones running our government (and soon our lives.)
