Default This concerns all of US

I see the creator of the web site you are promoting was on Howard
Stern talking about the web site. That tells me enough.


What it really breaks down to is the question of who really owns the
airwaves. The airwaves are supposed to belong to the people. If that was
the case, IMHO, anything would be allowed to be broadcast, and it would be
up to each individual as to what he/she wants to listen to.

Take a look at the Superbowl inncident, that I am sure everyone is aware of.
I, for one, did not want to see that. But, there is a possibility that some
people did. The only thing that needs to be regulated are the
ratings/content notification systems. If people can know ahead of time what
type of content will be on a radio/television show, then they can make a
desision on whether or not to watch.

Americans are free to listen to/view what they choose (within certain
limitations, i.e. child porn, etc.) and it is not up to the F.C.C. to
regulate what goes out over the airwaves. However, I do believe that the
FCC could do some good, by creating a ratings system that works. Nobody
wants to be suprised.

I'm not surprised. I think a lot of people are getting real tired of
TV and other media producers deciding that anything goes.
