I don't know if its the result of political correctness or what but dems seem to have become as or almost as pro-censorship as republicans are. Its just that one party is more obsessed with violence and the other is with sex.

This recent hysteria over the Janet Jackson flap and the censorship bills going through congress really is angering though. Only 21 democrats voted against it, and one republican. If it passes the senate and is signed into law it will chill free expression on broadcast tv and radio like never before: 500 thou dollar fines for companies and performers, revoking licenses, etc... They really have gone way overboard.

I'm very curious to see how Kerry handles his vote in the senate. I despise Bush, but I must say if he goes along with the crowd it's gonna leave a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm hoping somebody loads up the bill with poisons pills or whatever and kills this terrible legislation.
