[BC] Indecency bill

[Bailey, Scott]

I not for listening to programs of vulgar language, but the FCC,
Congress, and George Bush's administration have absolutely no right to
sensor paid services on cable and satellite. 
If someone pays to hear or view Howard Stern's program, Jerry Springer's
program, etc. from a paid subscription service, then they have no right
to interfere. My words to the public are, if you don't like it, don't
buy it. I don't like that kind of programming, and I don't watch it, but
it doesn't give me the right to tell the next guy in line he has not
right to buy it.

It goes both ways.  I am not a very religious person.  But on 6-6-06 a 
bunch of non-religious fanatics spray painted a very beautiful location 
here in Wisconsin called Holy Hill.  Call it a rampage against religious

people.

There seem to be attacks on those that are religious, and I dont blame 
those that are becoming defensive and trying to stand up for what they 
think is right.  But I guess that thos that are religious are alway 
called zealots and the like, but those that attack religious people are 
let free to run.  Go figure.

Guess this should have been on the alternate frequency, but done 
subscribe to that.
