Zatso? So, what has changed? Anything? Nothing?

You mean like when the Florida Supreme Court graced Fox News with 
explicit freedom to outright lie to its viewers? 

Suits me. I have an on/off switch and a channel selector on my 
television. They are supplemented by a "mute" switch. 

Both are quite effective whenever profane, amoral, offensive, pinheaded 
"neocons" pop up spewing their age-old screeds-- like our "Syria Shit" 
president, for example. Or his "Go Fuck Yourself" vice-president. Why 
don't Bush and Cheney have to pay fines? Oh, right, they are above the 
laws that they use to suppress the rest of us.

Let's censor them instead of the voices of men and women who fought the 
kind of fascism our current government offers us. All it goes to show is 
that it is hard to soar with eagles when there are nothing but turkeys 
to lead us.
