lets worry about sensorship when people are being killed.

lets take a person off the airwaves who has opened people's eyes and has set record advertising rates.

lets bring this back to the 50's when people who wanted to speak their minds, and did, were put in jail and accused of being communists.

i know, lets just weld the mouths shut of everyone we don't like, agree with or don't want to hear just because........

stern has made history with the way radio is conducted, the way talk shows are conducted and if you think about it, in an indirect manner, he has changed the way news is conducted and the way movies are made.

he was one of the first, if not THE first, to bring out lesbian awareness followed by gay awareness. not because he fought for the rights but because he talked about it publically when everyone else was too tight lipped about it.

in listening to his show yesterday morning, an independent survey was conducted (because some did not think that stern and his audience had the ability to sway the election) and that survey showed that 79% of his listners alone would not be voting for bush. do you know what 79% of his market is? do you know what a sway that is? granted this was more of brownbacks doing.

so, lets not worry about beheadings, foreign policy, the economy or even the homeless in our own country; lets worry about the fact that kids, who have a far worse vocabulary then i have ever had, and religious freaks hear, see, and do things that are considered indecent. don't blame the parents of kids who swear to high hell and back for their lack of parental control; lets not blame them for the fact that they will buy their kids GTA3 and then complain about the violence. lets not blame them for the fact that they let their kids stay up and watch whatever it is they watch. oh and lets not forget that these same parents will do nothing to filter out adult information on the net YET they want to blame everyone else for indecency and obscinity! same goes for these religious freaks.

if god intended for us to be so stoic, sterile and boring then the concept of entertainment would have never come to light. times change and with that people will need to change. if you dont want your kids to see something, DONT LET THEM WATCH IT! if you dont want them to hear something DONT LET THEM LISTEN!

if you dont want to see, hear or be involved with reality, and the same goes for your kids, then build a bunker and keep yourself and your kids sheltered. be sure not to let them back in school while youre at it.

this is a time where reality is more apparent then ever and if i had kids, i would want them to know what is happening in the world. i would not show my kids beheading videos but i would explain to them that some parts of the world are not as friendly as others and that is life. i would not give my kid internet access to the web (although not much can be done when the they are not with you....you just hope you raised them right but all kids are curious and that cannot be stopped). if i didnt want my kids involved in any sort of violence, i would not let them watch it or play games that associate with violence and i would most certainly not let my kids listen to stern until they were old enough although kids these days are far more crafty then we were.

see how simple that is. people control their own lives and to blame others is to not acknowledge one's own failure. this stern incident started because some parent was listening to a show, that was rather graphic, and thought if my kid heard this...blah blah blah. what the hell is your kid doing home between 6am and 11am and knowing the type of show stern conducts, why would you be so stupid as to let your kid listen? good parenting!
