O.K.

i ve been sitting here for a little bit trying to write a blog when in my mind I stumbled across the idea of cenorship. Why do we censor things? What all do we sensor? Who censor's what? And how do you spell censor is it with a C or an S? I don't know so im going with the C. The u.s. government (the FCC) currently censors all programs it feels may be offensive to viewers. But who decides what is offensive. I was recently watching Knocked Up with my family. My mom said that the marijuana use during the movie was offensive and that the govenrment shouldn't let people put that in their movies. I asked her about animal house where everyone is constallty shit faced. She responded by saying underaged drinking isn't illegael only frowned upon. Hmmm seems like shes a little confused. When the government allows things to go on television they engourage it she says. But is it the govenments job/ Aren't we all free to make our own choices without "big brother" trying to help us out? I guess not. I recently learned that th FCC is planning on censoring satillete radio streamed to american listeners. So now the govenment is telling us what we can and cant listen to. My question is even if material is offensive in nature isn't that for the listener/viewer to decide and not the govenrment. And how much longer untill offensive turns into something else. Soon enough maybe talking against the government will be offensive. And then we have lost yet another fundamental freedom. YOu see when people control what you listen to, watch, and read in a way they are starting to control the way you think. Because if we all are raised in the exact same environment then won't we all act the same way. So by censoring america we are losing are precious diversity, that which makes us the great nation which we have become today, and if we loose are diversity then what is cenorship but a holocaust of minds?
