Study. That's all. It's not tough. You're not picking cotton. You're not picking up the trash. You're not washing windows. You sit down. You read. You develop your brain. -- Bill Cosby in a recent lecture to kids.

Tower View
I never intended on the blog to be a political one, but lately whenever I want to rant, things like this come up.

Censorship Now!
Its ironic that the Democratic National Committee is upset over the Sinclair Broadcasting Group televising an Anti-Kerry documentary over their stations. They are so incensed that this documentary is being shown that they've gone crying to the FCC to try to prevent this from being aired.

Where was there outrage when Farencrap 9/11 was being put out in the theaters? Apparently it wasnt that upsetting to them when this piece of $%^# was rushed out on DVD for the home audience.

Even DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe believes we are too stupid to operate our own televisions:

McAuliffe said the program would be a different story, if the documentary was offered on a pay-per-view station so people could choose whether or not to watch it.

Two points came to mind when I read this:
1) Apparently, we cant think enough for ourselves to change the frigging channel, put in a movie, or even turn the television off!

2) Its ok if people are charged money to see the film, just like Fatboy Moore did, but its wrong to show it for free, where everyone can see it.

Someone has forgotten about the First Amendment. Remember that pesky little thing? This is the part of the Constitution that says people have the freedom of speech, even if we dont like the content.

If Sinclair Broadcasting wishes to lose money from its advertisers by showing this film, that is their choice. We as viewers have the choice to watch or not watch it.

So will the DNC raise as much ire if this documentary is released on DVD for free??
