[PRCo] Re: Casino Theater

And now you can see it all on television.  I don't want to be a "do-gooder" but
I think the liberals profit mongers have gone a few steps too far.  In our youth
the most risqué thing we had were the lingerie pages in Sears catalog.  Remember
all the problems Hugh Hefner had getting his magazine off the ground.  I've been
told that even Al Kalmbach refused to print it.  I shouldn't admit to this, but
I got four days detention in junior high to producing a rather suggestive (and
hopefully private) drawing that a certain old biddy didn't like.  The principal
supported her.  Today I'm torn between an appreciation for those values and an
fondness for free speech.  I really think we ask our children to grow up too
fast.
