This issue is so warped that I honestly cannot put my thoughts together right now. I mean, day in and day out, I see the non-stop barrage of junk being put out through the media, the completely unhindered access to ANYTHING you desire through the internet and the content of our movies and videos....and all these clowns can think of is silencing only the sane voices in this insanity. god help our children from this bunch of morons. I guess the onus is going to be on the parents to make sure that their children are educated on how to handle themselves in the real world. at the risk of over generalizing, its things like this which make divisions in our population. eventually, on one hand you will have a bunch of citizens who are informed and aware and in their turn become (hopefully) an enlightened society. if they continue living in this country that is. and on the other hand the tribes of the above mentioned morons will increase. The only thing positive about this whole issue is the number of voices being heard, in all sections of the media, fighting this absurd rule. may their tribe increase.. Unni what will they do next? what new brainwave will strike I wonder?
