Contamination

Conscientiously Combat Contamination:
  Pass punitive laws policing polluters
  Keep chemicals from killing crops like corn
  Plink and plunk pests with pure, perfect panaceas
  Segregate and shun smokers of cigars and cigarettes

Contradictorily, Contribute to Contamination: 
  Permit and protect pernicious ***********
  Validate, vindicate, and venerate video violence
  Liberate, laugh at, and lionize lascivious language
  Glorify and giggle at graceless, gutter-fed gossip

       Counteracting Contamination
       Can't cut both ways, can it?

Nope you wouldn't think so - somehow does though... Almost didn't read but glad I did. Well-written contrast, well organized, insightful. I like it.

Thanks for sticking this one out, Susan...Your insights and your kind words always give me a big boost. Here's to less contamination, I guess. Blessings, Gershon
