Dear Windel,

Hi! My name is Meghan. This in response to what you said
about censorship on the internet. I think that censorship is
good in some ways and bad in others. When you think about it,
T.V. is not that censored. I mean a lot of violence is shown
in kids' cartoons and there are shows like "COPS" or
"America's Most Wanted" that are just about violence. You can
also say that pornagraphic material is not shown on T.V., but
alot of things that are pretty close to it are. You also have
to ask yourself if you think things about pornagraphy and
violence ought to be shown, do you think people should see
this stuff on a regular basis? I don't think it should be
broadcasted all over the world, who really needs to see this
stuff anyway? It just gives people bad ideas if they are like
weird or abnormal. I also wonder about the people that make
the pornagraphic and violent films, what kind of sick people
are they? Do we want sick people like these spreading their
ideas around the world? What do you thinK??
Please type back!

Meghan
