Open Letter to PBS
Dear Sir or Madam:
Over the years I have seen PBS gradually become less and less independent of government and business and now I see PBS as almost irrelevant.
The only reason to view PBS is its alternative viewpoint to that of corporate media and now that is being compromised more and more. I’m sure your bottom line is your chief concern but I would suggest that while you are still able to make a difference and stand up against censorship and the narrowing of the public mind that you should do so instead of conceding at every step. I will not pay to support an organization that is clearly heading in the wrong direction.
Sincerely and regretfully,
Franklin Crobnobsky
This is nuts.

Is Osama Bin Laden Dead or Alive?
Yes!
Okay, here’s the deal.
Why is it that pictures of a particular crime are illegal to possess and pictures of any other kind of crime are *legal* to possess? I said “possess”, not “purchase”.
Why is it legal to have on your computer a video of Nicolas Berg (sp?) being decapitated but it is illegal to have a photograph of a naked 10 year-old girl? (That assumes that photographing a 10 year-old girl is criminal.) In fact, some legislation is worded so that it merely has to be a portrayal of a 10 year-old girl, not an actual picture of an actual girl. For example, a 3-D digital picture of a juvenile can get you arrested for possession of child pornography.
I contend that it doesn’t make sense and is a product of our societal aversion to sex in all of its forms. Somehow, violence is acceptable but sex is not. I think that’s the real perversion, that this society find violence so acceptable.
