TPPM Spiked! "Not in the Public Interest"

[Dave Monroe]

"... 'Deep Purple,' featuring Paul Frees's impression
of Billy Eckstine, will offend Afro-Americans because
the singer keeps nodding off, implying narcolepsy not
in the public interest, and so forth...."

Cf. ...

   "In this century we have come to think of Sloth as
primarily political, a failure of public will allowing
the introduction of evil policies and the rise of evil
regimes, the worldwide fascist ascendancy of the
1920's and 30's being perhaps Sloth's finest hour,
though the Vietnam era and the Reagan-Bush years are
not far behind. Fiction and nonfiction alike are full
of characters who fail to do what they should because
of the effort involved. How can we not recognize our
world? Occasions for choosing good present themselves
in public and private for us every day, and we pass
them by. Acedia is the vernacular of everyday moral
life...."
