Owen Benjamin tells it like it is…trouble is, it’s not funny any more. In straightforward language Owen demonstrates why so much “special interest” political considerations continually get in the way of people simple laughing at themselves every once in a while. It’s a great stress reliever that might even help people feel better about themselves…and better about the neighbors as well. Perhaps in losing the ability to laugh at ourselves, we have lost the ability to see others as human beings, too. Something to think about.
