Violence is what is destroying our civilization, NOT sex. Sex, is beautiful, violence is ugly. But, somehow our values have become all twisted. It is against all rules to show two people naked on TV (let alone... oh ... horror... having sex) but it is perfectly OK to show someone being shot to death in a close up with blood and guts flying everywhere. Most likely they also show the assailant in some form of postive role (if not an outright hero)! This makes so sick that I just screem. Take your Meese commission and shove it right up your ** If you don't like it, don't watch it. It doesn't hurt anyone else so but out big brother. -- Jay-El
