Oh Dianna, I couldn't criticize ya for that...My wife and I have often wondered if we wouldn't be better off jsut locking our kids up in the biggest closet in the house and hoping for the best.

Hey, it's a hard deal as far as I am concerend. And I KNOW it was a hard dealfor my parents when I was growing up. And, I know for a fact that it was hard for my grandparents when my parents were growing up.
But I really have to say, I still have a big problem with "it's the law". Well, the Law has ruled many things you and I would hold in favor right out the window. So, we need to agree to disagree. I for one see nothing good coming out of this. The "flash" of breast" was wrong. The reaction to it will be worse for us all in the long run. You won't change my mind about that..Gov't love's taking power, Gov't hates giving power back to the people. Once we delve further into the slippery slope of what is right and wrong on the airwaves, we're all going to regret it at some point. Gotta hit the rack..thanks for the debate...great points you brought up tonight..
It wasn't until the late 1950s, that proscribed books were even allowed to be sold out in the open. The first one " cleared ", was " LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER ". Compared to what passes for "dirty" today, that is one of THE cleanest books written.
" BANNED IN BOSTON " is NOT just some old band...it was what the city of Boston did to certain books, plays, and movies. They were far from the ONLY places in the USA to have such a code.

You have young children. You can keep them from prurient garbage at home. Once they leave your home, you lose that control.
There is a HUGE difference, between classical painting of nudes and nude statuary and the sexual outrages shown on T.V., in some movies,and barring from the covers of some magazines, signs, and such.
