Ok, this is partly a rant...about people who feel they have the right to inflict on others their own personal views.
Currently here in the U.S. there're efforts to radically strengthen the indecency rules for broadcasters. The really annoying bit of this is that the people who are trying to do this seem to think that their personal beliefs should apply to everyone. No one should be watching things they see as being bad. It doesn't matter that they are going after things they themselves may never watch. It is nothing more than inflicting one's personal beliefs on other people.
The thing that doesn't upset me is increasing fines wildly. I would be perfectly fine with that...because that is enforcement of the current standards. If I may be crude enough to mention the Janet Jackson incident, of course that should be nailed pretty hard....because it violated rules which are generally considered alright. Basically, increasing fines are enforcing laws. However, what is going on right now is changing laws. A similar case would be if the government decided to make the speed limits no higher than 35 mph, even on freeways, because they believe that if senior citizens feel uncomfortable driving over 35, that's a good point to cut things off.
I'm not really saying things clearly...basically, I'm just annoyed as hell that the government is again trying to make me follow their version of morality. To me, it's as bad as requiring church membership for voting...
