438 U.S. 726; 98 S. Ct. 3026; 57 L. Ed. 2d 1073; 1978 U.S. LEXIS 135; 43 Rad. Reg. 2d (P & F) 493; 3 Media L. Rep. 2553

Because of the pervasive nature of broadcasting, it has less First Amendment protection than other forms of communication. The F.C.C. was justified in concluding that Carlin's "Filthy Words" broadcast, though not obscene, was indecent, and subject to restriction.

The Court accepted as compelling the government's interests in 1) shielding children from patently offensive material, and 2) ensuring that unwanted speech does not enter one's home. The Court stated that the FCC had the authority to prohibit such broadcasts during hours when children were likely to be among the audience, and gave the FCC broad leeway to determine what constituted indecency in different contexts.

Thanks, Mr. Carlin, for inviting the vampire through the threshold.
You don't have to worry about the FCC now that you're dead. Lucky you.

Lovely service tonight, and all songs sung are done a Capella, for doctrinal reasons.
My favorite tonight, composed by the woman noted above, was How Beautiful Heaven Must Be.

Quite a lovely tune and gave me pause to reflect.

Peace offering received convivially, which made me cry and smile, simultaneously.
Moderately pleasant telephone convo with the woman, no yelling or interrupting (and important thoughts were shared), which raised my spirits enough to enable eating again.

Important Feedback: I sound "less crazy" today.

Watched AvPR with my son, it was O.K. Thanks, Ms. Yutani.

Next paycheck: Nicotine patches. It's time to quit, because 1. It's good for me and 2. Certain people can't stand my dirty habit (COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE). 3. Money saved can go to better causes, perhaps a liberal political concern or an environmental charity.

Currently playing: Interpol

1. People are more important than Plastic. Always.

2. When a woman tells you she loves you and wants you refrain from negative behavior, she really means it.

3. The first half of 2007, I was pretty happy, at my partner's expense. A horrible, dreadful and severely regrettable error on my part.

4. When two people stop taking psychoactive medication, it can exacerbate underlying problems. Address these problems together and come up with a plan, if you want to survive them.

5. If I want to ever regain the glory years I shared with a certain person, I must make some important changes in the way I live.

6. I must learn to love and trust with all of my heart, withholding nothing from my partner, for in return, she shall provide what I lack, and we shall both be the better for it.

7. Never forget your desires, for they are mostly your destiny, providing you are already living your life as detailed in 1-6 above.

8. Forgive your partner's foibles and do not judge them, for you are no better. Remove the stick from your own eye.

9. Make many small things of joy together, and  share the joy and passion of creation with your partner, for it brings comfort and inspiration to them.

10. Tell your partner, every day, that you love them, that they are the most important thing in the world to you. Then demonstrate what you just said. Do this without fail, or you may lose that love.

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks...

I'm not sure how one can be charged with 8 counts of murder, for allegedly killing 4 people.

INVOCATION OF THE LOS ANGELES RIOTS WILL NOT GARNER YOU MANY WHITE VOTES.

We awoke this morning to some bad news.

You know, this sort of thing makes me sick.

We, as Americans, should fully support strict gun laws which remove these indiscriminate killers from the hands of our youth.
