A EUNUCHOID NATION

We have to take the "Imus" fiasco as a wake up call. This incident was like a blaring Las Vegas neon sign with all the things that ail our society today.
I was appalled at how anyone and everyone stepped into line and once there, fell like dominoes spouting words from cue cards , afraid to waiver from the script. Hundreds appeared on camera, with no original thought or comment. The bodies and faces changed, but the drivel was constantly the same.
What ever happened to a nation that had a set as large as watermelons? A nation that was respected around the world; not the laughing stock it is today. Paper tigers make us cower in fear, as they spout venomous words without a bit of worry as to the repercussions for said actions.
On the world stage we are eunuchs. Trading partners take advantage of us, and all we can come up with is to send delegations to complain. No action, just words to express our displeasure and then they come back with their tails between their legs, with nothing accomplished.
Two blowhards holding this nation hostage, and no one with a set to confront them. Even the phenomena Obama, waited five days to see how the winds were blowing, before he issued his feelings on the subject. He too read from the same cue card, not wanting to take a stance for fear of rocking the boat.
It was only some words, but from the reaction you would think the man did a drive by shooting at a school yard. What ever happened to "sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me".
Since medical science found a way to augment breasts, is it possible that they might find a way to do so with a lower part of the anatomy and save this nation?
