assistant: latitu

I am against them tinkering with the current laws regarding searching
one's home.  Although for the most part, police are on the up and up but
there are some that would be too gung how with a "good faith" exemption.
Its very dangerous when every time you turn around they want to change
the constitution.  Plus, I don't think Congress should have the ability
to allow this without an amendment.  Illegally seized evidence should
not be admissible and there should have to be sufficient evidence or
reasonable suspicion for a warrant to be obtained before searching
one's home. Otherwise, innocent people could be targeted for no
reason at all, other than some cops whim (or worse......).

assistant: Its probably still on the way, I get mail from right from Iowa so that
may make a different I guess.
I got off the original topic myself <G>.  I am
totally against banning stuff, especially stuff that has been debated
here which is a personal choice thing as to certain shows, but
guidelines such as adult subject matter or parental descretion advised
type of shows should be on later at night but I would rather see it done
voluntarily than made mandatory. But to your point, I wouldn't call it
censorship per se because they are not banning it, but they are
controlling/regulating it which still could get out of hand because
there will always be those who will not agree on prime time, late night
or Saturday morning qualifications.
I also am hesitant in the latest political ploy to mandate that EACH
station carry XX amount of children shows, that I think is dictating
too much to the networks on what they should have to carry.  They'd be
better off creating one quality children's channel so they could have
quality TV for children at ANY time while awake and then those of us
who'd rather watch the Simpson without guilt can do so <G>

    Since it's unconstitutional for the Congress to amend the
 Constitution by themselves, I don't think they should pass ANY
 amendment, no matter what it says.

 can't find out what movies (I'm guessing you meant movies)
 are coming out because you don't like them ?  As for condom
 ads, I've never seen one in this country. Where are you
 posting from ?
     They don't advertise the Billy Graham Crusade where you live ?
 How about 'the Family Channel' or the '700 Club' ?
     Then you wouldn't mind also dedicating a "perverts' time"
 as well, eh ?  If one group can have "special rights", etc.

assistant: Hehehehehe.  First, I thought you were somehow implying that an FCC
inspector would be bought by the mafia, and then go into a station that
had info on John Gotti and take it, and then I realised that you were
just being silly.  Seriously, the FCC doesn't take reporters notes, they
take station logs (every station must keep a log of everything they
air, including news stories, however those news logs are just direct
transcripts of what was said by who, and have no secret information
about ongoing investigative pieces).  I've never heard of the FCC taking
a reporters notes, and I imagine we'd hear the screaming from that
for months if they took so much as a single page of sports notes.

Then why do you trust the Nuclear Regulartory Agency to police, and

Why do you expect that bureaucrat to order the shutdown of an unsafe

You seem to feel happy that they did their job, in respect to CBN, yet
you also feel they shouldn't have the power necessary to do their job.
I'm sorry, but from my end, this doesn't make a lot of sense.

assistant: Hello Lisa....
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  Just wondering. In your opinion, is there anything that should be
  banned?                                   ^^^^^^^^
  ^^^^^^^^^^^
  The networks have proven over and over that they are UNWILLING to
  make changes without public and government pressure. The bottom line
  is the ONLY thing that matters to network execs. Without law reform,
  and public pressure, they won't change anything. My opinion.
  As far as I am concerned, and from what I have read, the ONLY way to
  get networks to change is by force. They don't care about kids. They
  don't care about family time, they only care about money...plain and
  simple. See ya.

I don't think they should add an amendment.  The way I see it, its
already covered by the 1st amend.   So long as it is "Voluntary" and not
mandatory.
I believe everyone has a right to their privacy.  If this was to happen,
It would definitely be an infringement on the 4th amend. rights.

Hmmm I'm not so sure it's the greatest legal document ever written. Case in
point is the mess it's allowed your country to become because everytime
someone tries to do something for the good of the masses someone screams
abot their rights and that's that
HOw can you...that would be  violating someones rights....freedom of
expression and all
The police force should be given the ability to function instead of being
masticated by the very piece of paper that is supposed to help them. Already
the miranda warning must be read word for word or the case is shot. The
meaning behind the words apperantly isn't as important as the words
themselves.

(grandpa Simpson voice on)
 They're EVIL! EVIL I tell ya!
(grandpa Simpson voice off)
Jim, TV reflects society more than leads it.
Simple fact is, we don't care about much besides money here in the US.
Why expect TV execs to be any different?  We don't care about kids, we
don't care about family time.  We want escape, adventure, and shows that
do NOT require us to think.  We want it fast paced, and content free.
This, is not TV fault, this, is OUR fault.  We demand it, and encourage
it, so that's what we get.  Laws, won't change it. Your opinions, won't
change it.  The only thing that will change it, is if our society
changes.
Bill Moyers, once said that if he were in charge of
programming for a network, he could GUARANTEE that he could put that
network in third place, quickly.  All he said he'd have to do, was put
insightfull, quality programming on, and the network would be out of
business within a year.
Point is, that quality programming doesn't sell, because society won't
watch it. Who's fault is that?

-Tom-
