If Larry King Made Sense

Most of us will probably remember Larry King's old habit of making random statements back in the USA Today days (by that, I mean when people actually read the USA Today.) I never really cared for his bits nearly as much as I liked Norm Mcdonald's imitation of him.



But I found a similar commentary that I thought made some pretty valid observations. It's sort of like taking King's style and actually making a lot of good points using it. Take, for example:

Of all the theories that persist despite tons of hard evidence against them, the champion is the theory of "overpopulation." The evidence was against it in Malthus' time and has been for two centuries since then. The next time someone tries to sell overpopulation hysteria, ask them to name just one country that had a higher standard of living when its population was half of what it is today.

Or,

I have always been offended by the song that says, "Everything is beautiful in its own way." If everything is beautiful, then the word "beautiful" has no meaning. If everything were purple, there would be no word "purple" in the language because it would not distinguish one thing from another.

You get the point, take a minute to check it out.
