Hoo wee, you go girl! <P>I do, however, disagree strongly with you on the censoring of language. Take it from one who knows, words hurt. They hurt a lot and there is no way to unsay or undo the damage they can cause. We are barraged daily, almost everywhere, with indecent words. I see foul langauge as an excuse to stunt the growth of one's vocabulary and an ego enhancment, nothing more. In other words: tv is pointless enough already, do we really need to dumb it down further by adding curse words (more than are already present)?<P>And there is a law (rather ill inforced most places) that you must be 17 to get into an R rated movie. I support that. Seeing an R rated movie at home on the small screen is much less traumatic than seeing it larger than life at the theatre.<P>Okay. I'm done. Sorry y'all had t'see that...
