			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><em>When a movement, a revolution, a religion, a country, matures and moves away from its first ideals and ability to adapt, from the ability to keep on dreaming and changing, and becomes “fundamentalist,” fear has taken a hold of the imagination. Capitalism with its initial insights into the human spirit, ingenuity, and perseverance has been steadily deteriorating into consumerist fundamentalism. We have learned to live by the fear of losing everything through some misfortune of world events, by the fear of the poor or lazy who might take everything from us, by the fear of finding ourselves among the “have nots,” by the fear of old age, by the fear of being ugly and by the fear of being alone.</em></p></blockquote>

<p>If the quality of this video wasn&#8217;t so clear, you could almost swear it was an SNL sketch because of the sheer absurdity of it. This is too classic. Too classic. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the record I think <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairness_Doctrine">The Fairness Doctrine</a> that all the conservatives have their panties in a wad about is a complete and total joke. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s as near as overly dramatic as some people would have you believe and is no where near the &#8220;censorship&#8221; that they claim it is . . . but I do think that the government in no way needs to worry about something as petty as making the airwaves &#8220;fair&#8221;. I don&#8217;t think they should involve themselves with this at all. If <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1_fUwRp_0c">conservative talking heads want to make themselves sound like asses</a> then they should have the same right to do so as any body on the other side of the spectrum.</p>
<p>So for what it&#8217;s worth, I&#8217;m against any type of &#8220;Fairness Doctrine&#8221;.</p>
<p>What does bother me though is that those who are crying out against censorship are the same people who wanted to censor Howard Stern and all of the shock jocks a few years ago.</p>
<p>Again, oddly enough I find myself on their side against the Fairness Doctrine. But again, apparently I&#8217;m one of the few people left in the world that is able to come to his conclusion using common sense and intelligence and consistency without having to pick and choose on the issues I want.</p>
