    Your essays and videos are a blast of fresh air we all need to wake up out of our news-narrative comas. Thanks. As we head deeper back into the swamp next year, I foresee my increased need to watch and read your work. Thank you for all you do.

    ===================

    Sharyl [[ forgive me]] :

    My clarifying re-write of your above sentence, follows :

    “How the [[ Libertine/Liberal ]] news media taught us to
    hate [[ logic-oriented Fathers’ ]] censorship [[ think of the
    sound logic of censoring certain sex-based instructions
    to 6-year-old children; or soundly, logically censoring
    sexually deviant pornography from at-large society ]]
    and hate of [[ that non-emotional, that-logical-father-
    knows-best, fact-based ]] journalism.”

    Re Majority’s Protective Censorship in, say, the 1950s—
    that’s D E M O C R A C Y at work!, as that term means:

    “majority rule.”

    No?

    -Rick

    P.S.

    A minority of one - Hugh Hefner - and a group-minority - the Supreme Court -
    negated the right of the Christian majority to keep its morality-premised/-based
    society.

    Then, Nixon’s ill-fated commission on pornography, a minority of so-called “experts,” concluded:
    “No harm comes from public porn venues”—another tragic bashing of Christian moral standards.

    This scribbler explained all of the above in an essay,

    “Censorship! Everyone does it! And all the time!”

      C E N S O R S H I P! Every Body Does It! All the Time!

      We Americans practice censorship all the time by either government mandate ("we the people") or by self-censorship through social consensus, where the former naturally springs from the latter in a democracy, and where the latter is product of common agreement among citizens on what is socially appropriate at any given time and/or place.

      We all practice censorship--all of us. We censor ourselves regarding certain modes of dress, speech and social etiquette, and we - we the people - often petition our representatives to pass laws for censoring those who refuse to comply with social convention or who exceed the bounds of good taste and propriety. Both the self-applied censorship and the government-sanctioned censorship are necessary for maintaining good civil society.

      Those who fight against censorship are
      whining hypocrites for denying their
      own threshold for triggering censorship.
      How many of them would shelve in public
      libraries the available underground
      books on how to have sex with animals
      or how to molest children?

      Many of today's "acceptable" but pornographic books were once considered as abhorrent as these new arrivals.

      Where Does the Tolerance End?

      When social chaos reigns? And they're weak-minded in their ignorance of the absolute necessity for the majority of community members to control both the place and time for allowing expression of certain kinds of behavior and materials (a process called "democratic government")—materials such as certain books and movies and music which undermine the general welfare and domestic tranquility of the community (read the purpose for which the Constitution was established, as set out in the Preamble).

      Such hypocrisy and weak-mindedness were apparent September 26th, after the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in Virginia scored the Library Board of Trustees for simply considering, at parents' request, a restrictive placement of certain sexually explicit books and magazines—so that minor children wouldn't have access to them.

      The collective Orwellian mind of the
      supervisors ignorantly concluded that
      such a restriction "trespasses on the
      rights of parents
      to supervise the
      education of their
      children, and is a
      serious infraction
      by government of
      parental rights."

      Incredibly, the supervisors appear interested in protecting the parents' right to govern their children’s OPPORTUNITY TO BE EXPOSED to pornography in the library, as they insanely argue: that if pornographic materials are hidden in the library, parents would be denied the right to catch their children perusing the easily unshelved material.

      It's like saying that locking up child
      molesters deprives parents of their
      right to govern kids' out-of-home
      activities, which might include missing
      an opportunity to help the kids fend
      off child molesters.

      What a Bunch of Dolts!

      The controversy began two years ago when some parents complained about an availability in libraries of the "Washington Blade"; a vulgar rag for homosexuals.

      Children were reading the explicit ads and personals.

      Attempts to have the filth removed were unsuccessful, and it remains in the county's 22 libraries under the auspices of the Board of Library Trustees, who appear more interested in doing the bidding of the pornographers and sexual deviants than serving the general public's interests.

      The stupidity of the anti-censorship crowd
      is revealed best in their not challenging,
      firstly, the Board of Library Trustees' own
      purposeful censorship practiced in their
      book-purchasing process.

      The board censors the public from any books they deem not politically correct - a self-censorship triggered, no doubt, by their own threshold for intolerance of works that oppose their politics and sexual orientation - and, then, they hypocritically challenge concerned parents for their request that certain adult materials be placed where kids won't have easy access to them.

      There are two ways to sexually molest a
      child, PHYSICALLY and PSYCHOLOGICALLY;
      the former being too risky to attempt
      while the latter is easily accomplished
      by providing children access to
      pornography. And they, those trustees
      and supervisors, molest children under
      cover of offering protection for
      parents' right to catch their children's
      psycho-sexual molestation!

      I once had asked a head librarian in Henrico county, Virginia, why she didn't carry The Washington Times:

      "Oh, the Washington Times could never
      replace the Washington Post, and we
      have a limited budget," she replied.

      Everyone practices censorship, and all the time.

      The majority must wrest control of their libraries and schools and government from minority interests, or abandon the idea of democracy in America altogether.

      -Rick
