One thing I don't want is an attractive woman who thinks it's cool to take her clothes off in front of the entire country. :-)

I think thease assorted "reality" shows are beyond stupid, the only one I watch is MTV's "Real World", yes it's stupid too, what can I say.

I'm also not too bothered by some nudity or course language, if it's in context. It bugs me more to see shows with blatent politcal bias/agenda's.

But there is also no limit to human goodness, no limit to the heights to which we can soar. Love, honor, kindness, courage, love of truth, and especially love of God are as basically human as is depravity, perhaps moreso. If a potential Hitler or Osama bin Laden lurks in each of us, so does a potential Todd Beamer or Mother Theresa.

"Just be glad that we don't live in a world of intrusive busybodies; like in Orwell's 1984. The sets in 1984 wouldn't turn off."

So far. But if the "Liberals" get what they want, we won't be able to turn off the TV or its all-seeing camera. "Liberals" love Big Brother. For a good, clear look at intrusive busybodies, drop in on one of the "Liberal" enclaves. Try Marin County, California, or maybe Santa Cruz.

Hill Street Blues is on Bravo now.

Your understanding of libertarianism is obviously limited to knowing how to spell "libertarian". (Which, on a positive note, puts you far ahead of many conservatives!)

Part of the libertarian "social contract" is that one may not infringe upon the rights or property of others. Your billboard would adversely affect property rights and thus get the owner sued for damaging those values. See? A tidy solution without the need for a State mandated, tax-payer supported "Committee to Promote Virtue and Prevent Vice". (There's a place where they have such a committee, by the way. You'd probably like the TV fare too, once you learned the language.)

Really. Well, I suppose that would mean that painting your house pink could get you sued as well, right?
