Everything that comes in through our senses literally changes our brain. I'm trying to be more careful about what I make a part of me. You are what you eat, but you also are what you spend time looking at.

Americans are allowed to see anything we want to see, unless it's illegal, but the networks don't have to show anything they don't want to show. I don't believe I was taking your statements out of context. Based on comments from people who watched Berg's execution, his screams were lengthy, and horrifying. At the end of that, what did anybody learn? That it takes a long time for a healthy young man to die? That we should hate eeeeeevil moooooslims? What? I've seen a lot of things as an adult that I would not ask anybody to see unless they knew in advance what they were going to see, and gave it their full, intelligent consent. Murder victims, some of them infants. Bloody rape scenes. Decomposing corpses. Should these be shown on TV, too, so everybody will "know" - what? What of value? Please explain.
