I, too, have a hard time with much of libertarian philosophy. The whole “don't look if you don't want to see it” attitude is troublesome in many respects. So after we have killed our television, turned off our radio, stopped subscribing to the newspaper, stopped sending our children to public schools and ceased leaving the house, what then are we supposed to do? I suppose becoming a sect similar to the Amish is an option…

This is a free market economy. If you think you can produce better TV, radio, newspapers and books, gather up your like minded buddies and do it. Don't force the rest of us to deal with your personal hang-ups. Get off your behind and produce the kind of entertainment YOU want instead of trying to deny everyone else theirs.

This was an extremely lazy, liberal response on your part. Nothing worse than whining.

Toupsie, while I admire your particularly American "get-behind-yourself-and-push" attitude, you do realize that you are only looking at ONE side of the equation, don't you? Some of us just want to be left in peace, but the vulgarity is omni-present. Just as the Pacifica case found, you cannot not hear the seven dirty words when they are broadcast on the radio if you were not expecting them. You call US busybodies, but you refuse to recognize that your are putting YOUR filth in our face. At what point will we be allowed self-defense?

And less some accuse me of running away from the thread, my lunch hour is over and I will not have a chance to visit FR again for another day.

FRegards
