So why the heck is it that you feel the need to say "take it off the air"? Did you forget how to change the station, put in a CD/tape, or turn the thing OFF?

The public airwaves are an extension of the commons.

You cannot speak in Howard Stern's fashion in the commons; you cannot do so over the public airwaves.

The problem is that Stern's material is extremely inappropriate for minors, but is broadcast in a fashion readily accessible to minors.

You are welcome to your opinion.

I think it's possible that the Supreme Court might disagree, and uphold the first amendment.

On the other hand, they had no problem with CFR...................

Stern fans should be thrilled about Sirius: Stern is free to drop the F-bomb all he wants...and they get to pay him for the privilege of hearing it.

"The public airwaves are an extension of the commons"

You are right...

If you don't like it, change the station? BS.
If we took that attitude, then ANYTHING in public would be OK.
If you drive down the highway and saw a billboard of
nude hookers, do you say " Gee, just don't look" ?

If two people are having sex in the park, just don't look?

I am all for private subscription to whatever turns one on, but not on the public airwaves, anymore then on a public road or park.
