Saving us from Private Ryan

The Bush administration lost the wrong Powell.

Questions... Is today a day in November of 2004, or 1904? Is this the United States of America, purported home and champion of freedom?

Then why are media companies, and their frightened leaders, deciding what we watch?

Why are we catering to such a small section of our population when it comes to what we can and cannot watch? Didn't their TV's come with remotes? Turn it off, and read the Bible? Sorry, I was overcome by a fit of rationality. If you don't want your children to be exposed to violence, sex or profanity on TV, why aren't you actually parenting them? That is parenthood. It's up to YOU to protect their innocent eyes from lessons they're not ready to learn, like how war is hell, and sometimes, late at night, people are naked.

Why are you limiting everyone else's choice just because you can't control your children? Adults have a right to enjoy adult entertainment now and again. It's up to an adult to make his own choice, and not support material they might find objectionable. Handy tool in this endeavor: the remote!

Please, the trend away from freedom is antithetical to America...

The other frightening aspect of this ('scuse me, I haven't read the article yet) is the idea that certain groups don't want people second guessing the current war effort.

It'll give you nightmares. Naked nightmares.
