[BC] TV plans tasteful coverage of Saddam executio

I respectfully disagree. Do we want our children to witness
a man's neck snapping? His lifeless body twisting in the wind?
It's bad enough that we have printed images of Britney with
torn fishnets and not wearing panties. Janet Jackson's breast.
Michael Richards tirade. Mardi Gras breast flashing. We must
protect families and children against the immoral, the brutal and
the explicit.

When I pay my taxes I smile, knowing that some of my hard
earned income is supporting the FCC who is protecting the
morality of the airwaves and shielding us from the gruesome,
graphic and profane. Yes, we have the freedom granted us by
the First Amendment but we must also not abuse this freedom.
We must maintain our morals and high standards. Want graphic
detail, then watch those "Stars Without Makeup" shows.
