There's a fine line between "censorship" and demanding that our
airwaves
not sound like a brothel on payday night. One can effectively express
thier
views without resorting to the usual profane adjectives.

Why does Howard Stern and others of his ilk have to use profanity and
disrepute women in general for his "shows"...?!?!

In my not so humble opinion, it just goes to show that without
profanity
or ribald reference to women, he's got absolutely nothing to offer....He
AND
the other "shock jocks".

But the "shocking" part is that many of the people who are now
demanding
his censure are the same liberal twits who thought this was "freedom of
speech"
and that he was funny only 10 or 15 years ago.

It's not so funny now that THIER KIDS are coming home with a mouth
full of
filth!

Steve, we'll always have folks arguing for/against censorship. Free the air
waves! Yep. Did you see the article in the newspaper day before yesterday?
If you didn't, send me a note off group and I'll send you a photo of it as
it is still on my porch in the recycle bin. The article? Heheheheh ....

Essentially, it seems there are new interference problems. The police and
fire departments in some areas have been experiencing interference from -
get ready for this - CELL PHONES! Yep, the huge numbers of cell phones and
cell phone towers are beginning to make it difficult for the fire and police
to communicate. Many folks with HTs that have been in reasonably close
proximity to large communications centers (such as the 911 center about two
miles from my house) already know about intermod. Hey, weren't cell phones
supposed to be the new 'emergency' communications?

The sad thing is that the FCC is largely a shill for large business now. It
would't take a ton of effort for some kind of coordination to help avoid
this problem - but, hey, no regulation is better than regulation, right?

I hope your area isn't one of those they were talking about. Power to the
people! I can see it now. A release of gas, a minor quake - all the cell
phones light up and the police comms go down. Hey, why not eliminate the
FCC entirely? Just wait until BPL arrives
