Oh wyndhy...wait! I think we've both misunderstood each other in a few instances.

I wasn't saying that YOU were calling me a "bad person". What I meant there was that I don't like censorship "for the good of the people" when I don't think that what I am looking at/listening to is indecent. I just think indecency is in the eye and ear of the beholder and that parenting should be left up to parents...not a government agency!

That's not to say that there shouldn't be ANY rules and guidelines...but at least list the rules and guidelines and stop (already) with the "we'll know it when we see and hear it" kind of arbitrary rulings!

And trust that [we] can't police every word/deed that is spoken/done and that without a study on the effects of these words and deeds...where is the harm? Parents do a great job with the V-chip and such...and it has to be trusted that they don't allow their children to listen to Howard (for example)! If they accidently hear him...where's the harm? Half the children that might hear him...wouldn't even know what he was talking about or doing...ya know? It's the deviated minds of adults that get offended for themselves...and hide behind the child for reasoning!

I was NEVER offended by anything you posted hun! I am probably radiating frustration that you mistook for anger...and I apologize for that. I'm frustrated that I am not getting my point across in a manner that I can when I speak. I'll admit...typing my thoughts loses something in the translation. I've known that for a long time! LOL!

So...Peace, my sister from a different mister! I am learning things in this thread as well...and there is no need to picture me wanting to throttle someone! I haven't throttled anyone in years! LMFAO!

(((((wyndhy)))))

Oh...and as to a link to the wording of the new bill? I'm sorry...I don't have that info right now...but will get it ASAP. The last time I heard anything about it was last Thursday or Friday when a Congressman called in to Howards show and Howard asked the exact process of the bill, where it was in the House now, and it's wording. The Congressman (didn't catch his name...but it would be on HowardStern.com) wasn't even sure of the exact wording at that point, but is going to get back to Howard with that info ASAP. Now (yesterday anyway)...Howard's show is in re-run. I don't know if he was taken off the air live...or he had a day off????

I'm sorta up in the air about it too! Sorry!

Howard is off the air. Howard has always been off the air. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.
