The Toylet and more

The all new cross between a Toyota and a Chevrolet will be coming soon to a dealership near you. It's called the Toylet. I hope readers will excuse this bit of bathroom humor but what a concept. Imagine a car that runs on poop. A car you can fill up without leaving the comfort of your driver's seat. Of course there is one tiny problem- emissions. But the Excrement Protection Agency (EPA) will certainly embrace and allow this daring new idea.
Only kidding folks.
Here's the heart of the matter. Many of you may know that years ago the state of Maryland and probably the United States had movie censorship boards which decided which films were suitable for public viewing and which weren't. Whatever happened to those boards? When were they disbanded? Has anything replaced them?
Today there doesn't seem to be any standard for films. Has anybody else noted how many films have not been rated and yet are coming to theaters near you? But the real question that confronts us is what happened to the Constitution that allowed such censorship in those days? Isn't it the same Constitution? When did it change? Who changed it? Why? Oh, I get it: it's the same Constitution only with a different interpretation? I guess it's the new and improved Constitution, upgraded for today's audiences. But is everything really new and improved? Could it be new and unimproved or old and unimproved? While you are wrapping your mind around that, have a nice day or maybe not.
