BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

"NO REALLY! I'M A PERVERT! I READ LIPS!"


CONSERVATIVE
MEDIA
"soft corn."




LIBERAL MEDIA
"POPcORN!"




INTERNET
"CORN!"
"CORN! CORN!"


1/3 what I hear, 1/3 what I lip read, 1/3 what I fill in by context

When someone first showed me this video at work, the only words I could make out was, "CORN, CORN, CORN."

It wasn't until I saw one with the lyrics included, did I even know it was about sex.  Nothing in the video clued me to sex, nor corn either either now that I think about it.  

That's not the point!
The point is "CORN" edged out "PORN". 

If I asked everyone to repeat everything I didn't hear, we wouldn't get anywhere at all.....

or even bother trying.
