Solutions to Rev. Falwell's dilemma:

1. Have all 132,000 petitioners refuse to buy any products advertised on Nickelodeon.

2.Change the channel!

Problem solved.

Seriously, Reverend, there are much more important issues at hand. We'd all be better off if you continue to expose the danger that Islam poses to Americans, and stop wasting our time with these implied attacks on the First Amendment.

Tell that to the thousands of teenage boys who've been raped, sodomized, fondled and spiritually bankrupted by homosexual Catholic priests. Tell that to the parents of those boys.

The change the channel crap does not cut it.

The moral fabric of the nation cannot be destroyed, without morality no nation can exist.

Let me give you an example, If I choose to run a smelter in my backyard, are the people that live around me affected by it? The answer is Yes. Even if they do not choose to run a smelter, they cannot simply choose not to breath. The same applies for attacks on morality. Those who do not choose to watch immoral behavior are affected by those who do.

As the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Said way back in 1815.

This court is...invested with power to punish not only open violations of decency and morality, but also whatever secretly tends to undermine the principles of society... Whatever tends to the destruction of morality, in general, may be punishable criminally. Crimes are public offenses, not because they are perpetrated publically, but because their effect is to injure the public. Buglary, though done in secret, is a public offense; and secretly destroying fences is indictable.

Hence it follows, that an offense may be punishable, if in it's nature and by it's example, it tends to the corruption or morals; although it not be committed in public.

Although every immoral act, such as lying, ect... is not indictable, yet where the offense charged is destructive of morality in general...it is punishable at common law. The destruction of morality renders the power of government invalid...

No man is permitted to corrupt the morals of the people, secret poision cannot be thus desseminated.
