But how do you explain the attacks on the CPB from conservatives whom have said that they believe in freedom of speech, yet in contast to this, they openingly attack the CPB and PBS for producing "liberal" programs? Yet in Canada, there is more of a balance between conservative and liberal views? Furthermore, there is very very very very little cenorship of "profane" or to use the more American word . . . cussing on television? And if Freedom of Speech in America is more absolute, then why can't we run into a theater and yell fire? Why can't a business place a sign on their building without being charged some kind of tax or payment? Dosen't paying a tax interfere with one's freedom of speech? And how do you explain the FCC? So does that mean I can start cursing on this forum and nobody will mind? Or how about placing pictures of fully nude women on this site or any other site for that matter? I mean this is my freedom of expression.
And lastly, what about the sculptor who had his sculpture of an American flag and Osama Bin Ladin removed because "it was politically contriversial?"
