5. Let's quote George Carlin from his 1988 Show.
"The FCC, an appointed body, not elected. . .answerable only to the President, decided on its own that radio and television were the only to parts of American life not protected by the free speech provision of the first amendment to the constitution. And why did they decide that?

Cause they got a letter from a minister in Mississippi. A reverand Donald Wildmon heard something on the radio that he didn't like. Well, Reverand, did anyway ever tell you there are two knobs on the radio? But I'm sure the good Reverand isn't comfortable with anything that has two knobs on it. But it's true, there are two knobs on the radio. One of them turns the radio off, and the other. . .changes the station. Look at that Reverand, you can actually change the station. It's called freedom of choice and it's one of the principles this country was founded upon.

Look it up in the library, Reverend, if you have any of them left when you're finished burning all the books."

CLASSIC CARLIN still applies today.

FUCK DONALD WILDMON!!!
