The Dove Foundation

[Tracer]

I just got a telemarketing call from this place. (Unfortunately, my business line is exempt from the No-Call list)

The guy rattled on about baaaaaad movies and wanted to know if I had children or grandchildren 16 or under.

To get rid of him, I truthfully told him that I had neither. But if I had my wits about me I would have given him an earful about censorship.

Then I went online to check out this Foundation. There was a "Bible" banner, and of the Board Members, I recognized a couple: Laura Schlesinger, Michael Medved.

I'm opposed to censorship of any kind. I choose the films I see carefully, and would expect that parents of younger children are fully capable of doing the same.

1. Bible games?

http://www.dove.org/Frames.asp?URL=surveys/take_our_survey.htm Just to mess with them.

OK. They trash a great game like Super Smash Bros Melee (If only I still had my GameCube and didn't have video game addiction) and Fable (Too short but fun). These fools made me mad.

Why can't Christians live in a democracy and is it too much not to destroy a society over a book?

2. I gave them an earful two nights ago. It was fun. He let me get in

two comments, a question, and my final speech: that I thought the ideas he was representing were reprehensible. I wish I had asked him why he hates America. Ah well, next time.

and Cheney to use foul languages....she referred to the "F-You" from Cheney to Leahy and the incident with Adam Clymer and Bush..
