EDITORIAL NOTE
We hear the same outcry from our self-appointed watchdogs every day: "Get
rid of sex and violence in the media, and our country's problems will be cured.
No longer will the minds of our youth be poisoned. Never again will any disaffected
child, disgruntled employee or rejected lover resolve their problems by picking
up a gun."
When it comes to photo ops and sound bites, sex and violence are lumped together
as if they're the same thing. But behind the scenes they're mutually exclusive.
At the same time the morality police coerce sixteen-year-olds into signing "virginity
contracts," they work to debunk, deny and derail laws that would keep a gun
from falling into the hands of that same teenager—or anyone else.
It doesn't take an analytical genius to realize that this equation is not only
severely flawed and severely hypocritical, but severely dangerous as well.
None of us should be at liberty to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution
are good or bad, outmoded or outstanding. How can conservative zealots tout the
right to bear arms as sacred, yet claim that playing fast and loose with free
speech is perfectly sound and healthy?
Ironically, these "true conservatives" miss the most basic cornerstone
of what makes this country great: America is the strongest country on Earth because
it is the freest. Pro-censorship fanatics don't understand that our country isn't
the strongest because it's the biggest; China is bigger. Nor is it strongest because
it's the richest; other countries have greater riches. No, we are strongest because
we are the freest, and those who cry out for the protection of our moral purity
are actually dragging this country down for the sake of their own power. The conservatism
they embrace is based purely in the fact that America was settled by religious
fanatics with guns.
They also don't seem to grasp that our freedom isn't the result of the will of
politicians. We are "condemned" to freedom by the diversity of our population,
its races, religions and philosophies. That's why the first amendment exists to
begin with: to protect the speech, religions and assembly of everyone. Note that
it's always those who would bend the country to their own will who condemn other
races and religions. Also note that any regime that has passed "purity laws"
began with what they called perverts, then moved on to other facets of society.
Once perversion is defined and outlawed, the same language will be used to outlaw
anything else. It happened to the free countries of eastern Europe in the '30s;
the fascist and communist powers that succeeded in censoring those they felt subversive
broadened their scope to include many other social "deviants."
Keep in mind also that ours is a country with a constitution and government that
has been incapable for over two centuries of defining the Vice Presidency. How
can we ever hope to reach a viable definition of pornography?
Getting back to the media, I recently saw a list of the ten most often used lines
of movie dialogue. Number two was, "I'm going to kill you." Number three
was, "I love you." What does it say when a fictional character is more
likely to threaten someone with death than offer love? This should be an indication
of where the zealots should really concentrate their initiative.
Incidentally, the most often used line of movie dialogue is, "Let's get out
of here."
