That's just it..I don't want to lobby congress for anything. I want the RESPONSIBILTY placed where it should be, the home; the individual. But many think we should relegate Gov't to think for us. Pathetic in my opinion.

Pollution seeps everywhere. I have been perfectly fine with sleaze on cable, pay channels, etc. because everyone knows what they are getting. Well, the result is that it has seeped into prime time, and then into the superbowl. They KNEW there would be kids watching. They knew there would be families watching, they knew they'd have a record audience for their crap.

It has to stop somewhere! I can throw out my tv, but my kids are still going to know what's going on when they walk out of my house. Kids out in the world will still be way too sexualized and cynical.

If I locked my children in the house and never let them out you'd be criticizing me then, too. So, what am I supposed to do?

Oh Dianna, I couldn't criticize ya for that...My wife and I have often wondered if we wouldn't be better off jsut locking our kids up in the biggest closet in the house and hoping for the best.

That was a joke (as it is a joke between my wife and I as well)..

Hey, it's a hard deal as far as I am concerend. And I KNOW it was a hard dealfor my parents when I was growing up. And, I know for a fact that it was hard for my grandparents when my parents were growing up.

But I really have to say, I still have a big problem with "it's the law". Well, the Law has ruled many things you and I would hold in favor right out the window. So, we need to agree to disagree. I for one see nothing good coming out of this. The "flash" of breast" was wrong. The reaction to it will be worse for us all in the long run. You won't change my mind about that..Gov't love's taking power, Gov't hates giving power back to the people. Once we delve further into the slippery slope of what is right and wrong on the airwaves, we're all going to regret it at some point. Gotta hit the rack..thanks for the debate...great points you brought up tonight..
