- No but just if it would be to save ten or one it would worth it! You
- could live without A-Team or Wile E Coyte and there's is probably many
- shows that are not on the air beause they're judged too violent! Are
- you upset by them??? No because you don't know they exist... it would
- be the same...

- >Upbringing, violent homes, poverty...... stuff that has been around a LOT
- longer than TV (TV didn't start World War I either).
-
- So if we have some problems we should not be able to solve some
- others???
-
- But anyways... I mean and you know it there's nothing that will change
- for a long time... The Governement will not do anything anyways. So
- you'Re going to be able to watch whatever you want and the weirdos who
- REALLY get upset by the TV will continue doing what they do...
