So what do you wish to do? Restrict liberty in the time honored tradition favored by tyrannies for millenia?

You know the one..."well, to protect the children we must curtail..."

How dare anyone threaten my freedoms for that old tired reason? Ben Franklin was talking about such people in his quote...

"Those who would forsake essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
-Benjamin Franklin

Sure ... I'm a real tyrant ... ask my nine children.

Do you believe the American people should have no collective say in what is presented on the public airwaves ... other than having the option to change the channels?

You should apologize to Ben franklin for using that quaote, a quote that was obviously meant to discuss unreasonable search and seizure and such, to justify getting to look at boobies.
