Re: FCC gives "guidelines" on indecency

["Dan Billings" <dib9@gwi.net>]

I'm a loyal Republican, but I don't share my parties view on these issues.
I think we need less government involvement on both the business side and
the programming side.  We don't need a government bureaucrat to reign in
Howard Stern when he goes too far, the market does that pretty well.  We
need an FCC to license frequency use because their is a limited spectrum.
The government shouldn't concern itself with what is broadcast on those
frequencies.
