When I first heard about the Howard Stern / Opera debate, I was all for Opera being fined to support Stern's point. But as I read this article, it only makes it all too clear that censorship has gotten way out of hand, and soon the only thing we'll be allowed to watch is children's shows. Yes, there should be some limitations on whats allowed on TV, but human beings are perfectly capable of deciding what is or is not appropriate for themselves and their family, without the FCC telling them so.
