You'll notice, I make alot of my assertions based on history. Fifty years ago, before there was a flickering box in nearly every room, of every building on the North American continent, things were not reported on as much. People had to actually find time to READ the "news" of the day. The movies people saw at the theatre on a Saturday afternoon, did not contain the GRAPHIC violence, and promiscuity that is prevalent now. Not that it didnt exist, it simply did not make it's way into the mainstream. Now, thanks mainly to the "enlightened" liberal viewpoint, anything goes. I'm not attacking free speech. You can be enlightened, but remember there are certain basics (those old conservative ways) that temper one's thoughts and deeds.
