Call Me Culturally Conservative...

My criteria are:  Is a thing ugly, or is it beautiful? Does it give delight, or does it make me wish there were such a thing as a mental "automatic erase" button?  Is it funny, or is it trying to be funny, and being decidedly not-funny?   Is it kind, intelligent, and decent; or is it cruel, stupid and nasty?  Does it respect and honor innocence and virtue, or does it think it's cute to be rude and snotty to children?  Is it witty, or is it smart-alecky?  Does it have anything at all going for it besides being up-to-date and "ground-breaking"?  Is it, over-all, morally sane, or morally insane? Is any part of my appreciation of it dependent on somebody else's appreciation of it?  Would I admire it quite so much if I hadn't been told that I should admire it, or that it would redound to my discredit if I didn't admire it?  If it didn't have a famous name attached to it, would I likely have ignored it, or dismissed it out of hand?   Do I really like it, or do I really not like it?  What does it matter what you think?
