i agree with you all on the right to choose what to watch, and i do despise a censor but i guess we have to remember that we live in a country that was founded by the religiously persecuted who couldnt wait to set up their own country where they could bash the crap out of anyone who didn’t agree with them…it’s amusing because the more you mystify and glamorize something the more people build it up and give it a completely unwarrented importance…hence the sex taboo in our puritan culture with the concommitant use of sex to sell everything…oh and what’s the first thing you do when you’re old enough to drink, why you go get drunk of course…the other problem of course is that this is a young country relatively, with an adolescent national character, hence everyone running around doing stupid things but at the same time trying to blame someone else, ie the tv/movies/books made me do it, or the tobacco companies made me smoke, or mcdonald’s made me burn my legs when i was driving with an open coffee cup…GAHHHHH i’ll stop ranting except to mention that maybe we should just get rid of all the lawyers so people would have to start living with the consequences of their own decisions,then they wouldn’t have time to try to tell everybody else how they should be living!
