THE CASE FOR CENSORSHIP

The destruction of standards is inherent in radical individualism, but it could hardly have been accomplish so paridly or so completely without the assistance of the American judicairay. Weilding flase modern liberal version of the First Amendment, the courts have destroyed laws that crated pockets of resisteance to vulgairy and obscenity.

Sooner or later cencorship is going to have be considered as popular culture continues plunging to ever more sickining lows. The alternative to censorship, legal and moral, will be a brutalized and cahaotic culture, with all that that entails for our socieyt, economy, politics, and physical safety. It is important to be clear about the topic. I am not suggesting that censorhip shoudl or constitutionally could, be employed to counter the liberal political and cultural propagandizing of movies, television, network news, and music. They are protected, and properly so, by the First Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech and of the press. I am suggesting that censorship be considered for the most violent and sexually explicit material now on offer, starting with the obscene prose and pictures available on the Internet, motion picutures that are mere rhapsodies to violence, and the more degenerate lyrics of rap music.

Censorship is a subject that few people want to discuss, not becuase it has been tried and found dangerous or oppressive but because the ethos of modern liberalism has made any interference with the individual's unchecked self-gratification at all costs seem shamefully interference.
