Increased Fines for Indecency?

Increasing the fines on broadcast and entertainers for indecency is hard to oppose when you stop to think about the schlock we see and hear everyday. The only thing is that, I wish that the lawmakers and enforcers would be as aggressive when it comes to the other moral compass we operate under. What other moral compass you might ask? Well, there are two at work in this country, one deals with things like drugs, promiscuity, sexuality, etc. The other with the mores and ethics of the market place.

It seems like the politicians, and religious leaders want to focus on the first moral compass, sex, drugs, street crime and leave the other, market place containing cooking the books, cheating on taxes, buying politicians, etc, alone.

It would have been great if the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; Public Company Accounting and Investor Protection Act of 2002 had increased the fines for corporate malfeasance at a correspondingly rate as the fine for Janet Jackson showing you her wares.

Just my rant of the day.

Because they are in the employ of the Christian conservatives who currently run this country. And the Christian conservatives who currently run this country and lock, stock and two smoking barrels owned by the same corporations who are cooking the books, cheating on taxes and buying politicians.

Sadly, the reaction to the vast majority of corporate malfeasance is likely to remain "Nothing to see here, more along."

And it's easy to avoid the schlock we see and hear every day -- turn off the television, don't read about it.

narrowly defined 'morality' to include sexual behavior, substance abuse and street crime, as you say (but violating this moral code is only forbidden if you are poor or a Democrat; RWers can violate it at will with impunity) but there is no outcry, no outrage at the massive theft by the corporate thugs, or of the lack of true values displayed by the RWers who promote moralism rather than real moral behavior.
The so-called Christian Right needs to be renamed "21st Century Pharisees"

why are they so against self policing when in comes to polluting our airwaves, but in favor of it when polluting our environment?
