The "7 deadly words" are just an arbitrary measure of what's generally acceptable to most people. I see no reason to pay tax dollars to support everything on the public airwaves. Nothing is being censored or banned. Video stores are on the street corner of nearly every town in the US and cable and Satellite cover the rest so there's no problem accessing a broad range of content. --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 379/45 1 633/267 |
