One of the things that a study of genealogy will show you is that the more things change the more they stay the same.

And probably just as many "light skinned" black babies too.......................

Don't kid yourselves. Sex was taken much more seriously...

but of course you couldn't use abortion for birth control. A shame?

And there would've been a lot less kids with multiple parents as well.

The FCC? Airwaves are public property, as such we may regulate them to our taste. TV stations are businesses that practically by definition cross state lines.

But I was pointing out that we don't have a difference in kind, only in degree.

Sex taken seriously? Ask Sally Hemmings, oh she is dead, oh well.

Regulating the airwaves is necessary simply because there is only so much bandwidth between DC and green light. It is not only necessary to regulate it nationally, but also internationally as well or there would be absolute chaos. That is why there are two UN bodies, CCITT and CCIR which are (or were) acronyms for the French names. A few years ago it was changed to ITU-T and ITU-R (International Telecommunications Union - Telecommunications Sector (telephone and telegraph) and Radiocommunications Sector, with the latter negotiating international use of the radio, television and other spectrum

Te, he, he...........

I tend to believe that people are people, whether it's 1780, 1880, 1980, or 2011.

Despite all of the hullabaloo, the one constant is human nature.

Wouldn't you agree, Rob?

Amen to that brother.

Perhaps, but Sally was scandalous. And once again there was a clear line between public, and private/adult. This morning, I happened to catch on the radio that folks have been saying that a popular singer had 'crotch to mouth' relations with a coupla pop singer men.

So she tweeted, yeah, and a lot more besides. This makes her a hero. With our kids mind you.

Ignoring the verbiage, I thought you meant it looks like the Sun has popped a boner.

So we should outlaw twitter too?

They're hearing just as bad or worse at school Pete.

Actually, I'm okay with outlawing Twitter. I never got Twitter.

She was also a "mulatto". Venture a guess who her Daddy was?
