42. Soon We'll Have The Controls
In many cases some of us already do. I can limit what channels I want to see, and if I wanted I could block out all religious or all sports and so on. Again, that's my option, and I know we'll agree that should be the ultimate determination point...not some corporate, preacher or government-type.

Content should only be address when it's used in a personal nature...not a generic one. I think we've gotten to thin-skinned (especially on our side of the fence) into what is offensive and what is slander and outright exploitation. But this isn't an FCC question, this is one for Constitutional scholars with far greater brains than mine.

I'm one that feels the marketplace dictates and will be dictated. When a Survivor becomes a hit, there's gonna be imitators and each one is gonna try to push the envelope a little more to gain some short-lived advantage. Fine, then it'll be on to the next big thing. The hope is to make it more than one game and not controlled by a small group with conflicted vested interests...and that my friend is what I really think you're getting at.

Cheers!
