You can't lay the blame for the moral decline of civilization entirely at Jeff's door. Although I'm sure he'd like to take the credit.

It's not just MTV (Conky drags his rocking chair nearer the cracker barrel), it's them darn single parent families, welfare kids, drug pushers, lack of discipline at home, at school, poor moral guidance demonstrated by celebrities, the whole ball of wax.

And it will be the end of us. As we cling to some transient, tissue of civilization and morality in the face of those who would murder us in our beds, our real enemies are here, roaming the streets with crack in their veins and guns on their hips.

I speak, of course, of male talent. No, sorry, I meant to say kids.

So Jeff gets off lightly in my book. He was filling a niche, not creating a demand.
