     Cyberbullying, yeah, but the real monsters are usually the parents, 
the ones who are the first to say, "Think of the children," and band 
together to chill free speech and any creative expression they don't 
understand, and the ones who are most likely to beat Jesus into their 
own helpless offspring.

     This video is about alcoholism, but it serves other points as well:

     Nine times out of ten, when a child is put in the hospital by 
battering, or is psychologically scarred for life by true bullying, it's 
the parents who are responsible.

p.s. In other news, and the actual announcement, here: I'm away from 
Fort Bragg for tonight's KNYO-LP Memo of the Air show, doing it by 
remote, just reading stories aloud for six-to-eight hours, so if you 
were planning to come in to play your instrument(s) or talk about your 
project, let's do that next week-- Friday, Nov. 27, any time after 9pm. 
325 N. Franklin, Fort Bragg, right next to the Tip Top bar. Just show up 
and walk in, head for the back and get my attention; I'll put on a 
record and set up a microphone for you. When I'm there the storefront 
door is unlocked.

     And, of course, if you ever write anything that you want me to read 
on the air, email it to me and I'll read it on the very next show, 
swears and political incorrectness and all, because this is America, not 
Communist China.
