What I know for a sure and certain fact,is that the pendulum swings and has done since the beginnings of time.

Agreed, it's my 'wave' theory of life. No hot, no cold. No up, no down, etc. Without it, no life.

Having witnessed the collapse of socialism in our time (which is relatively short) I'm curious as to when we as a country will abandone it's vestiges and go on toward that which we might acheive otherwise. In science, education, health, etc. Unbridled or misdirected censorship may impede us on this path.

Perhaps the time has come to turn our public airwaves into the equivalent of our bland public parks where no threat of harm exists. Dam glad I didn't grow up playing in them. From my childhood, I should have been eaten by a black bear or mountain lion.

Public parks..."BLAND"? They never were and never shall be "bland",nor "safe",for that matter.But did you mean PLAYGOUNDS,perchance?Those aren't "bland",nor all that "safe" either, no matter WHAT they do to them.

But I too grew up prior to the NANNY STATE imposed helmets for everything,knee/arm/whatever pad rules,and played on CONCRETE floored playgrounds.Heck,I roller skated and rode my bike on city streets;even played games on them!But,I never heard any bad language nor saw any kind of porn either,back then,and could and did sing "popular" songs, without any fear of getting my mouth washed out with soap and/or getting a tongue lashing for using "dirty" words.

As to just WHEN this nation will back off from socialistic tendencies,which do not work,I have no idea.Neither do I know when the populaces will at last have its fill of trash,porn,perverted behaviors,etc.;but there WILL come a point that that'll happen.You and I might not be around to see it,but it'll happen...it always does.
