Meni, the government is not prohibiting the expression of an idea. They have rules and standards however for what can be broadcast on public airwaves. those rules and standards have not been proven to be inconsistent with the law or the Constitution.


so... your logic says that i should have a show on Radio called the Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfuck and Tits show where i do nothing but chant these words and anyones attempt to block me from doing so on public airwaves while i violate the terms of the license i was granted would be wrong? violating the Constitution?
