When the Pendulum Swings Too Far
My take on cancel culture35 total reviews

When he released the video that's when it hit the fan. ( I think it's also interesting that this song wasn't attacked until Jason Aldean's wife made a comment against transgenders) Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I agree 100% we are becoming a nation of victims. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I love a good rant! And surely this must be the no. 1 topic on which to get thoroughly irate. What is the matter with these poor, sensitive little wimps? You sum all this up so well and, one detail in particular, this trend of cancelling history. We can't cancel the past. It's been and gone and happened within a certain set of factors and variables. As you say, don't read, watch, buy or whatever anything that offends you but give others the same option. This is a case of denying human rights to make one's own decision and learn from an open book. An excellent and knowledgeable rant and a compelling argument against this ridiculous cancel culture. Thanks for sharing and good luck! Debbie

Comment from Lea Tonin1
Wow, you have put a lot of thought into this. You've done your homework, it's plain to see. And yes, it makes them very valid points still relevant. Today I think everyone should just get over themselves. Really. Our grandiose sense of entitlement is getting in the way of what needs to be done.
You write very well very meticulously no doubt as to your meeting. That's me as a fine writer and you've done a great job if I had another 6. It would be yours, so I'm gonna send you a virtual six because it's that good. A great contender for the contest I wish you best of luck!

Comment from Sally Law
Bravo! I'm sickened by the erasing of history and the method and means used to do it. Jason Aldean's video is more accurate of the decline here than anything I've seen lately. Our nation is being destroyed from the inside out. I think you have a lot of wonderful advice about getting along, however, as in any marriage, corporate entities, or society, we must walk together in agreement. Public discourse, anyone? Debate? 'Gone With The Wind', my friend.
The Bible states this, and says two individuals cannot walk together unless they are in agreement. America is now the land of the hostile, and disagreements erupt daily on the screens, even about our history. These are simple things, really, yet important in all aspects of life. History is important, all of it. We learn from it, or should learn well, and records should be kept. I keep my family's history. Is it all good? Hell no! It's mine though, and it's true history.
America is fractured, on fire, and politically divided as never before. If we don't return to God, we're goners. (My humble opinion added to your rant.)
God bless you, friend. My best for the contest too.

I agree Sal, when they took prayer out of schools and the dissolution of the nuclear family was acceptable the country went to Hell in a handbasket. Thank you for taking the time to read and review my work, I appreciate it.
Comment from BethShelby
This is excellent rant and I agree with you wholeheartedly. People are digging into things they never gave a second thought to in the past to find something I could possibly find offensive and making a big deal over it. The next generation with have no idea of what actually happened in the past because it siimply will have been erased. If you don't learn from past mistakes what is to keep you from repeating them.
