<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2171407, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;ll cop to falling into condescension every once in a while, but I honestly wasn&#039;t going for that tone this time.

I have no great respect or love for popular culture&#039;s obsession with prurience, violence, and fashion, but I deal with it by putting my attention elsewhere, and guiding my family to do the same. I see plenty of others doing the same. The people shouting ugliness often have the loudest voices, but they&#039;re far from representative, even today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
