[new] the war on fun (Avg. Score: 3.00 / Raters: 1) (#1)
by Anonymous Stranger on Fri Jun 20th, 2003 at 12:04:06 AM EURODISCORDIA TIME

Alternet has a story about the federal government's war on fun. While the author seems to feel that today's overdone morality stems from governmental and special interest groups, I think it is more broadly based than that, and seeps out of the pores of US culture at large. I don't see this happening in other countries, and seems to have really gotten a foothold since it became possible to smuggle in any and all reactionary policies or mores under the guise of the war on terrorism. Whether it's gender neutral or not depends on your point of view: men and women are both sticking more to "traditional" cultural expectations - which happens to mean docility and domesticity on the part of women, and false airs of independence on the part of men.
