Television Producers Requesting Smut Standards Be Lowered

The Supreme Court is trying to decide if it's OK to allow television broadcasters using public airways to broadcast their smut any time, day or night so we can enjoy hearing the F-Bomb and every other obscenity spewing out of our TV sets along with graphic sex, nudity and violence as a bonus. This subject leaves us conservatives torn between two major ideals; Government Has No Business Telling The Private Sector What To Do - AND - Liberty Is Not Possible Without Morality. The people could easily fix the problem themselves by demanding certain standards and simply shun those who do not comply. This does not seem likely as obscenity has slowly become normal and very little shocks anyone anymore. This must cause a problem for those who were once thought of as producers of cutting edge entertainment because their movies or shows featured obscenity which we have become used to and it no longer has any shock value and it almost goes unnoticed. Now these smut peddlers find they have to go back to work and figure out how to tell a good story to capture an audience. The Supreme Court will decide one way or the other and it does not really matter how it is decided as either way is bad. clarlarc
