Woo-hoo! Did
Capt'n Communism just make the same argument that censorship advocates and other neo-cons make? Let's take a look...
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R):
[We can] stem the influence of cultural violence by doing more to limit the exposure of children to violence. ...we should limit our young people’s exposure to it.

The good Capt'n:
You will however see children mimic what they see in terms of rationalisation. They also mimic behaviour as they watch the actions of more promanate members of their culture or society and see how they act in public and how the public reacts.
Oh wait, but there's more!
Rev. Pat Robertson (of the Christian Coalition):
Popular television is flooded with filth and violence; MTV, VH-1, and pop radio stations are sewers of obscenity, rebellion and violence; pop magazines promote the vilest forms of pornography and a form of materialism, selfishness, and greed that has fallen to the lowest levels in human history.

Pat & Capt'n, makin' it happen:
Children imitate what they see. ... To say that children are by no means effected by the behaviour of those who are in power in their country is silly. ... Children are watching, and they are developing based on what they see around them....
Hey Capt! There was a gun used in this crime, too! Before it's too late; you want to see if you can go two for two and knock another of our basic rights over the bleachers?
You're really just a two-bit, Bushie nut - aren't you?
