We can’t after all, as a free society, and as responsible individuals, call representatives of the NFL and CBS, and simply demand that they clean up their act, or we won’t watch them.

“The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
“When government takes responsibility for people, then people no longer take responsibility for themselves.”~ George Pataki
“Government is not reason; it is not persuasion; it is force -- like fire, a dangerous servant and a terrible master.” ~ George Washington
“Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society.
-As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all.
-We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education.” ~ Frederic Bastiat -’The Law’
