26. this makes me so angry I can hardly breathe.
I'm so glad I don't watch TV.

Why aren't people writing letters to CNN? That's what I usually see people here do when some kind of egregious RW social-control issue gets special favor.

This is unbelievable.
Next, they'll be airing ads demonizing women who choose to use birth control or who choose to have a career rather than stay home and breed.

And how about some truth about overpopulation. If we don't choose to limit family size, outside factors will do it for us (war, disease, crime, natural disasters, resource depletion, pollution)...Oh I forgot, outside factors already ARE doing it for us.

I agree with another poster who said most people don't think with their head, they go with emotion. Well, there are plenty of issues that liberals stand for that are very emotion-laden, but because RW owns all the media, "our" issues get buried. ("Our" issues really are EVERYONE's issues, because they're not just social conservative propaganda or nostalgia for a mythical Leave It To Beaver world--no, "Our" issues are more immediate; life or death, justice, legal, job, environmental protections, rights over our bodies,........)
