66. That is why I keep saying...
Turn the channel.

If you listen to the hard rock all smut radio channel why in the world would you be surprised at the f* bomb?

Yes. There is. But at the same time, I will fight with my ever-loving dying breath to protect any person's rights to say those same words where ever they like.

I would not say it. But if someone else did I would ask them if they minded not saying those words. I would not chide them or insult them but I would ask. If they refused, that is their right and I can explain to my children about free speech and free expression and why I think those words are wrong.

I can call my station and tell them I do not think the speech of radio jock is right but I am not willing to allow the governmnet if I can help it to limit that jock's freedom of speech. If he wants to tell me to f* off on the air fine.

I listen to another station.

Where is this place you live where they have only one radio station that plays nothing but filth?
