:D That was something to ponder. Truely, we dont need to go to the library or buy a pile of books to get enlightened anymore. One can just open the TV, sit back and relax. Channels like Discovery, NatGeo, Animal planet and what not, are feeding gobs of valuable information around the clock for free! And theres this internet! Hundreds of thousands of pages on any subject, plus audio visual education! And yet, we have not improved much! We are still sitting in square one. Our minds are not getting enlightened, our views are as narrow as the medieval ages! People are such morons that they just swallow what the TV and radio broadcast, without judging the value of the content. Most people base their opinions on what is being fed to them by the media. And this is dangerous. So if we broadcast filth over the media, theres bound to be contamination in the society.

Is there any way to enforce some morality into the speakers?
Is there no law against broadcasting scornful language, hateful opinion, racism in any form?
