In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky. Pnorny!

Indeceny Fines
03.11.04 (12:26 pm)   [edit]
Better watch what you say on the Air. It'll cost you. The House voted to increase fines for indecency on the air. Our children's ears must remain untainted until they reach adulthood, sometime around age 62. First amendment? Heck with it. Morality must rule! And soon we'll have ordinary police able to issue tickets for foul language or behavior. That'll increase the city coffers, which means we can hire more police and/or send the Mayor on a nice junket to Europe.

Ridiculous, isn't it?

Anyway, morality should be instilled in children by their parents not the government. My kids watch and listen to pretty much whatever they want. There is no issue that is taboo to talk about in our house. We do not attend church. But I do teach them to be open minded, socially conscious, tolerant, respectful of others, and, yes, moral. My kids may hear curse words now and then but they don't USE them. Seriously, they don't. We all want to protect our kids from whatever might be harmful to them, but I don't think that means sheltering them from everything that is disagreeable in life. And how insulting is it to tell an adult what he/she can watch or listen to?
