When is censorship necessary and when is it an infringement on our freedoms?
There is a fine line between the two.
While we don't want our country to be like Hitler's Germany,
we also don't want it over run with corruption.
So where is this ever fine line?
It seems it is getting blurrier every time we turn around.
In the news, on the net, on t.v.
every form of media is affected in one way or another.
It is not so much that the rules have changed
as much as it is that we as a society have changed.
50 years ago nudity on the television was taboo.
Now, as people are becoming desensitized,
because they see these type things regularly they begin to ignore them.
While I disagree to an extreme degree
with censorship as a government sanctioned control mechanism
I do believe that we as a people should stand up for what we know to be right.
A country's government shouldn't be the ones
that have to tell people what is acceptable and what is immoral
From childhood's hour we are taught right from wrong.
Our minds absorb this knowledge, we need to put it to use.
Listen to your conscience, Listen to your heart,
They will guide you,
and finally don't just follow the crowds
"Narrow is the road and few there be that find it".
be one of those few, make a difference.
Whether you believe in censorship or not,
We all know right from wrong, ignoring it only causes strife.
It is written on the tablet of our hearts,read it and heed it.
I can understand that because it takes a strong man to be able to listen to the voice of reason when that voice says what you loath. Not every man is big enough to stand firm with what they write knowing beyond any doubt that no one else can waiver their position in the slightest.
What I find amusing and not so amusing is the fact that I took my two responses and made a blog out of them and posted so they would stand next to yours and people may click from one to the other, but Society will not allow it to be published. That is counter to what you write here and I find that ironic, hypocritical and slightly amusing. I find these emotions in it because of the exact words you typed on this blog.
With as much as I surmise you've experienced in your life and with the topics you tackle in this blog site and others, I would have expected more of you than that...now that is an honest judgment!
