Lines: 35 Amazing how I change just a few names and words and Ray Frank's article makes sense! What makes YOOOUUUU the spokes person for what people want and don't want. Who asked you to determine what is good or bad for us. You are a manipulated fool, and the sorry thing about it is you don't know it. Jerry Falwell and his types love people like you. What you read and watch in the media is already being manipulated by a handful of people. They ARE determining what is good for us. Wake up for crying out loud and look about you. There is more of a lack of freedom in the media now than ever before, especially on the boob tube. You and your defend our moral minority types were lead around by the nose like a silly bull waiting to see where you were going and didn't know where you were when you got there. You have been subtley feed on a diet consisting of the unpalatable tastes of a handful of media controlling fanatics who systematically gained control of your morals and replaced them with their own value system. Again the very sad thing about this is you think you have control of what you watch and read, but you don't. They do. If people like me have recognized all along what was happening and want to do something about it or at least talk about it, you unknowingly take the side of the very people who have done the most to discredit freedom of expression in this country. They are powerful, rich, and not without tremendous influence and seem somehow unchecked by any value system currently in vogue, but especially they are unchecked by an apathetic public. They WILL have their way, YOU will not. Unless you realize how badly you've been duped by this very unsavory group of people. "I may not read the porn you print but I'll defend to the death your right to print it." I'm not advocating porn, just defending the free press. I don't think banning *anything* ever really solved any problems. If you don't like it don't watch it/read it. Nobody is forcing you. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
