Hi, Glenda.

I'm surprised it wasn't higher -- I'd vote yes. But the poll question that wasn't asked is "should the Jackson affair be an excuse for a return to strict censorship on late prime time, late night, and cable TV," as the FCC Chief has said he plans.

I agree there, I don't think we need the censorship as it was in the 50's where Ricky had to keep one foot on the floor when he was on Lucy's bed. hehehe
But I do think they need to be more careful who they choose to run the entertainment ay half time! They really messed up with the choice this year!

Hi, Glenda.

I think we basically agree. But those who want to control what others can see and hear are already using this as a wedge to attack not just what's on prime-time and late-night broadcast TV, but also cable.

Wow, that was harsh.

It's not unreasonable to wonder that a phone company would release such a poll.

What do you try really hard at? How does this apply to my observation of your harsh reply to a member's question?

Thanks,
