"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

Why I'm Not a Conservative

NBC recently cancelled the original Law & Order after 20 years on the air. The show tied Gunsmoke as the longest-running weekly prime time drama in U.S. history. It produced six spinoffs, two of which are still on the air, three affiliated series set in the same fictional universe. And a new spinoff is set to debut this fall.

Obviously, like the original series had a tremendous run, one that any producer would envy, but has simply seen its time go. Well, unless you read the Republican echo chamber. There you'll find that the public simply got tired of all the liberal messages in the show. You know after two decades. Presumably, it would still be on their air if it had depicted its murders as anti-war protestors and environmental activists.
