Beyond guilty--heinous, repulsive, and obscene in the sense of having
no redeeming social value.
I listened to Mickey Kantor's high-minded speech about GATT the
other evening, and he railed mightily against the Europeans using trade
barriers to preserve their culture by restricting American movies and
television. Phrases like "right to view what they want", "freedom of
expression", and other such Bill of Rights verbiage spewed forth from
his forked tongue. (Funny, the "right to keep and bear arms" never
came up, and European gun controls sure do cut down on Smith and
Wesson's exports there.)
You know, when you realize that what he's really talking about is
forcing Europeans to put up with an onslaught of trendy ninnies
pretending they live some fairy-book existence where trouble is losing
your drug connection's phone number rather than your job, you're forced
to come to one excruciatingly awful conclusion: The French are right.

P.S. To console yourself, repeat three times: "It's the exception
that proves the rule."
P.P.S. Did you ever notice what else "BH" stands for?
