The public should not have control over free speech, you are right. But they can choose to boycott the stations. We have seen people here freep clear channel over the Dixie chicks and we know it can be done over other issues as well.

The public has the ultimate veto over what they see or don't see- don't buy a television. The public chooses to accept the crap that is on the air and doesn't do anything. It isn't the government's place to say what can or cannot be said. It is the consumer's (because we are ultimately talking about a product) job to say yes or no to what is being offered. Refuse to watch their trashy shows and they will dry up and die.

Good idea, people don't need radios either. Just rely upon good old newspapers for your news. Well, until they find out sex and perversion sells too. Then I suppose I'll have to lock myself in a closet.

The problem, as I see it, is how to allow maximum freedom of all expression without forcing people to live in closets to avoid crap. Do you agree?

I'd be happy with making it a person by person vote. Do you want sexual content on tv at any time of the day or night? If I am outvoted, then ok, I'll live in a sewer and accept it.

The basic premise I hold true is that MOST people don't want sexual content on their radios or tv's during day time, family hours. It happens, and people say nothing and change the channel. So it continues. I'm done changing the channel. Now the issue is up for discussion, isn't it?

Let's hear from the people.
