And, yet, the same people who would never utter a bleeped word will accept what should be bleeped, like hate, prejudice, innuendo, war, gossip, lies, and killing. There are certain talk radio hosts that should be bleeped, many politicians should be bleeped. And a whole host of attitudes we've come to accept should be bleeped. They are more harmful than hearing a perfectly serviceable word uttered in frustration because it expresses your feelings. Bleep!

It seems that watching someone kill someone else is just fine - but if the murder victim says "shit" while dying - well that's just too far. I was thinking about this the other day and came to the conclusion that if there were a completely uncensored look into a typical person's life broadcast on TV it would most likely get an "X" (or "MA" - whatever it is now) rating. Nothing out of the ordinary - just typical person having a typical day. As far as my own kids go I have certainly swore in front of them many times - and they have certainly heard it all. That is how grownups talk - sometimes "fudge" just doesn't cut it. The odd part is that to my knowledge they have never sworn in front of adults - though I have seen many kids of straight laced parents who have sworn in front of adults. Sort of a "forbidden fruit" I would imagine. If you don't make it seem like a big deal then its just not a big deal to them either. Yeah – it is pretty amazing.
