I don't even have kids and I am against censorship. My only concern is that if we did see Pearl's videotape, what kind of violence would that incite in America? There are lots of people like Mommy Yates who are ready to explode. And, I think since kooks don't have jobs, and watch a lot of tv, it would be bad for America if our kooks retaliated and started shooting up places or people because they have ocd and aren't properly institutionalized or taking their meds. How many times have we heard that one? They weren't taking their meds.

Showing the tape would bring out the psychos, in the name of patriotism. I don't want that imho.

We are normal, but many are not. We have our share of psychotics and sleepers and I don't think we know where they are all located, but we know that they have tvs and tv tends to play stuff over and over again.

You and I are on the same page. I don't want to see the tape and would leave the house if it was to be shown at a FRiend's place.

But one of the steep prices we have to pay in order to live in the only-ever Truly FRee Nation in the entire history of our species on this planet is that we will, as companions on our journeys through our lives, have some kooks psychotics and sleepers who simply cannot handle FReedom.

And as another of the steep prices we must pay is that we must not permit our liberty -- yours and mine and our children and our children's children -- to be in any way curtailed and/or proscribed in order that we relieve ourselves of the personal responsibility to be alert for and to the actions and activities of the few kooks psychotics and sleepers who simply cannot handle FReedom.

By agreeing, for example, that "they" may take away our Right to Choose what to watch on our TVs at some place other than at the dial on mine -- and at the dial on your's.

FReegards
