"To that other comment on being offended, there was a time not many years ago when it was illegal to swear or use vulgar labguage in public. There was no inquisition, just common consideration for others. Too much to ask of the adolescent sewer mouths of today I guess"

I agree with you on this- it is the idea of GOVERNMENT regulation/LAWS concerning what id acceptable speech that I am against. I have no problem with civility enforced by SOCIAL pressure- One does not need to invite people who offend one's sense of propriety. BUT the idea that the "GOVERNMENT should do something" or that the FCC should enforce standards ( especially in an un-evenhanded manner) IS a problem.
