Too political

Sometimes I think I'm getting overly political ... or more involved in politics than I'd like.

Still, it's hard not to want to become politically educated when the FCC cracks down on alleged indecency and targets one of my favorite entertainers, Howard Stern with $1+ million in fines.

Equally bothersome are

The Government's multi-million dollar crusade against pornography.

Bush's recent signing of the Fetus Rights Legislation which appears to be a step towards outlawing abortion, as the bill recognizes an embryo or fetus as a person.

It's hard to stay current in politics, let alone be educated about current events. Being active requires even more effort and time. Many of us don't have that spare time and energy to speak out on issues.

But then again, right-wing, religious letter writing fanatic organizations such as the American Family Association and Parents Television Council rely on people like myself who oppose their conservative and religious-based views, but who are passive and throw up their hands in defeat asking, "What can I do about it?"

It's hard to know what to do.

But in the meantime, I guess I'll keep continuing to educate myself with articles and opinions such as Roger Ebert's article which defends all broadcasters' right to free speech.
