Letter to the Editor: Clear and present danger

The words "clear and present danger" can be found also under the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution, under the First Amendment regarding the prohibiting of "free speech," or the "press" in cases of "clear and present danger" to the state.

So, all our United States are in this danger zone when it involves especially the modern-day media such as NBC, which allow such, and promotes such under their late night shows. Their ratings say TV 14 DL, which is an understatement. From some episodes I've witnessed, those shows should be rated X.

One fine example came on Seth Meyers' "Late Night" stuff where his guest named Renee Rapp (a pop culture celebrity) rapped, beginning by saying "Jesus is hard to rely on," repeatedly saying "Daddy hurt me," "got good t**s and a big heart." Repetitions are done throughout the "rapper's" song.

Toward the end, [no matter how the lyrics are interpreted] either way it makes me sick and I think that during the hours that such is taking place most families are usually nestled in their beds while "clear and present dangers" are rampant on NBC.

I feel we good people who need child protections should form a coalition against all networks that promote immorality as part of our "pop culture." Today they rule, but maybe this letter might serve as a game-changer.

Stop child sexual abuse. And, p.s., HIV prescriptions are their main sponsors.
