I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays.
Ahh, back from the day where humor relied on wit and observation and not on profanity, sexuality, or political bashing. Some comedians rely on this "old school" method, but many today rely on the latter for their bits.

I grew up in an era where television was not new, but expanding at an amazing rate. I first remember television from the late 1950's. Comedy on television was very strictly controlled by laws to abide by proper conduct in those days. Honestly, the best humor eminated from those years. Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy,Milton Beryl, and even the early years of some now profane entertainers made us laugh as a family with no worry of immoral material. They relied on solid, well thought humor. Shock value of profanity was not wanted, nor required. What I find distressing these days are those gifted entertainers who incorporate their success by using it as a platform to announce or discuss their homosexuality as a normal lifestyle. It is none of my business what their personal sex desires are all about. Please, I wish that they would just stick to their great entertainment value and not make those children who watch their broadcasts believe that this homosexuality is normal behavior. Role models are everywhere. Our youth chooses these role models based upon many factors. Many "normal" families are forced to make decisions on their actions based upon an announcement that their son or daughter is gay. This is no easy task.
