It's just more hypocrisy.

So many Americans pretend to love "freedom", and many may actually believe that they do, but they cringe when you speak of the responsibilities and realities that come with true freedom.

Freedom means more than just being able to choose whether you eat at McDonald's or Burger King....

It also means doing your own parenting....If you TRULY want freedom, then you don't demand that entertainment be filtered and spoon-fed to the rest of us just because you can't be bothered to monitor what your kids watch and listen to.

What if you don't have kids, but you're still offended by the likes of Howard Stern, or Janet Jackson's boob? ....Well, guess what....You're an adult, and you have a very easy and highly effective option at your disposal: Shut up and change the channel.

People REALLY need to grow up and realize what freedom and freedom of speech really mean, and deal with it.

Mike
