- Just out of curiousity; given that you consider this ludicrous, why do you
- not support relaxing the restrictions on nudity, rather than tightening the
- restrictions on violence? I'll even grant the necessity of adding some sort
- of warning to the beginning of all TV shows that used to fail under the

- Is this a typical Canadian attitude? If there is a problem we demand the
- government-who-protects-us-all step in and hide it from us? If so, is this
- attitude the cause of our current economic problems, or the reason that it
- rates as such a great country to live in?
