Right now, there is parent control technology that you can purchase to block any radio station or T.V. station. That is your job. As to streetcorners, could you please name a privately owned streetcorner that allows Stern or anyone else to shout vulgarities.

Are you the parent of your children or is the government their parent? Take some responsiblity, rather than destroy my first amendment rights.

No, it IS the job of the government to protect kids from hearing indecency on the public airwaves. Parents can't always control everything a child will be exposed and some children don't have parents that are present or care. Children shouldn't suffer because liberals and libertarians won't to allow anything -- even porn movies -- on the public airwaves.

Limited government doesn't mean no government. Regulating indecency is a proper function of government, one that has existed throughout virtually the entire history of broadcasting.

What's wrong with those wanting porn to take responsibility and actually subscribe to get it? I don't want it so why should it be beamed into my house? All Am/Fm radios don't come with parental controls.
