"You don't like the clamping down on the Superbowl so that the rest of us don't have to watch Jackson bare her tits to the world. You don't like it when people like Howard Stern are hounded on the airwaves, so that the rest of us don't have to listen to his worthless trash."

You know, there is this interesting little part of your radio, called the tuner. If you don't like what is there, you go to a different station. It works real well, I use it all the time...

Never listened to Stern. From what I know about his show, I am unlikely ever to. I have listened to Rush. My Dad listens to him all the time. I had my druthers, I wouldn't listen to him either. But I am not going to start a campaign to take him off the air.

I dunno, I find it disturbing that people, like you I guess, want to restrict what other people watch and listen to. And justifying it on moral grounds. I hate to belabor the point, but that is exactly the same clothes that the fascists dressed their censorship up in. He instituted his power grab in the name of fighting terrorism and reversing the moral decay of Germany. The fact that trotting these themes out doesn't raise the hair on the back of your neck is a scary thought.
