Sir; ...I have to wonder how you conceive of morality if you can worry about such trash and not worry about the ease with which we torture, or jump into failures in Iraq and Afghanistan without so much as asking a how do you do to the people, knowing the death and destruction that will follow to be counted against our souls in Heaven...You do not know the meaning of morality... You worry about a symptom and leave the disease unattended...It is because you want power over others, and immorality only provides you an excuse...So you tell me what is worse...Is it worse to misuse freedom to offend people to no purpose; or is it worse to deny them the freedom to do anything... I know you are the immoral one..I know you and the clowns you support have no interest in true morality...Morality ultimately is good for the people... When individuals accept the good of the people they are accepting morality... Morality is the point where each and every one joins their society, but it involves a choice, and that choice demands freedom... You want to deny freedom, and compel the acceptance of society when such behavior is the most immoral imaginable...It is because you can force acceptible behavior that all the evils that are at heart a poison to the body politic have been allowed to bloom.... What good does usurous interests do for the people???What good does ruthless exploitation of the population, and resources, and the environment do for the people??? You are offended at some cartoonists standing back and pointing out our stupidity, and our vanity, and our infidelity... Well cure it... Maybe the guy is telling the truth...If there were no truth in it, it would hardly make an impression...But the fact is that we are often stupid, cruel and pointless....If you do not like the way you look don't blame the mirror..Change the facts and not the reflection.... Don't try to ban all mirrors so your nature will not shine clear... Now; I will talk to you, or anyone... In the desire to tell you the truth I might offend you, as the truth often does to the corrupt....But I see no point to offending the whole population.... I think viagra commercials are terribly offensive to the senses...The thought that people cannot accept growing old with grace, or that old men need younger women they cannot please without the aid of medicine, I find offensive...The fact that it is advertized non stop, even during the news I try to not miss, so I am offended to have my children be informed- is nothing I can like... The thought that some one is making a buck on my offense is a cause for my offense, and that is true for many people...And the fact that this great medium of education is so little used for education is disgusting.... Who owns those airwaves??? No one is more honestly offended by what shows up on the tube than myself...The difference between your self, and myself, is clear... My offense does not end there, and I see it as an extension of a general immorality across reach of society... Morality is community, and we do not have community.... We do not have a single common parent we can call our own, or a single relgion, or even a single idea, like liberty or justice to unite around... Instead we have the notion that is entirely contrary to morality and community; of the individual as the sole point and reason for society...We make of greed a virtue and celebrate the profit made of one man exploiting all others... Our whole society is an example of immorality; so to squawk about a single stupid offensive example is crazy... Try to get the full picture, and see yourself a part of it... Freedom is morality, and morality is freedom... Only when people are free of exploitation, and free to make the essential choices in their lives will they ever be likely to use freedom with respect... The family guy is not an example of freedom, but of insurrection... The Viagra commercials are simply offensive, and demonstrate our general immorality, even in our most intimate relatonships...Thanks...Sweeney

Excellent observations, Brent. This show is so over the top in offense that Fox should hang its collective head in shame for ever allowing it. I boycott it by refusing to watch it.
BTW, the Sweeney stuff is his typical convoluted nonsense drivel of obfuscation; following his "point" is an exercise in futility. I normally boycott his nonsense by ignoring it as well. At least it's easy to spot his stuff with the huge block of blather.
