ConsideR the CensoR

Cartoons which 'offend' may be the least of our problems when it comes to the "censorship" debate.

We are currently drowning in a tsunami of amorality. The adherence to traditional morality is long gone,and people fear Legislation in this arena more than they do societal ramifications and the consequences of a complete cultural breakdown.

In his book, "Slouching Towards Gomorrah"- Robert Bork states:"..ours is "a degenerate society," "enfeebled, hedonistic," "subpagan," and headed for "ultimate degradation" in "the coming of a new Dark Ages."
He suggests "law based on morality"and believed that society may properly set limits on "what may be shown said and sung." One of his pivotal chapters is titled "The Case for Censorship."

"Without censorship, it has proved impossible to maintain any standards of decency."(p.117)

The music industry has transitioned from celebrating wholesome songwriters and musicians to sexualizing young girls at the earliest possible age and unapologetically celebrating wanton sex.
Much of what passes for rock music celebrates nihilism and perversion.
Rappers oftentimes glorify criminal behavoir as gangsta and macho,while the half naked girls and women are relegated to writhe and slither around them and the stage.

Critics are oftentimes accused of bigotry if they intimate that this is destructive to popular culture. It would thus seem then that you think misogyny and violence are what define the average black male and hypersexual narcissim - the average black girl and woman.

Lyrics are inundated with curse words and have been so deeply ingrained that it is taken completely for granted.

Films which promote the purposeful degradation of morality are monumental successes -
Sadistic violence, homoerotic behavior and anything which promotes unbridled hedonism.

Televison ads overwhelmingly target children and adolescents, who are estimated to watch more than 40,000 television commercials per year.

"Because younger children do not understand persuasive intent in advertising, they are easy targets for commercial persuasion,” said psychologist Brian Wilcox, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Director of the Center on Children, Families and the Law at the University of Nebraska and chair of the task force."

Turning off televsions, limiting children's access to the Internet,trying to monitor music which is downloaded are solutions touted but as we all know......There are video screens in malls everywhere, in waiting room offices, billboards are thrust in our faces, magazine stands display what could pass for pornography on city streets.

Perhaps you should consider the state or federal government's responsibilty in this after all.
The all powerful judiciary should be reined in.
It is every individual's moral obligation to force the government's hand with respect to the judiciary, which has all but removed the ability of individual communities to set social standards- specifically against pornography.


Some degree of censorship may frighten many-
but if the alternative is allowing the current decadent, secularist trend to keep diluting and destroying every known value our Country was founded upon...
We may just find ourselves in a place where even censorship may no be a possible strategy:
Moral Oblivion.
