Dear Mr. Geiger;

I read your article "Fed up with all the TV trash?" in the
Washington Post,
October 22, 1995  at a time when I am  so outraged, I could just
scream.  TV is not alone in this disgraceful exhibition on sex
and violence.  

I can't believe the gutter talk on radio (i.e. Victoria Jones,
Imus and shock jock Howard Stern).  I "station surf" to find
something decent to listen to as I work through my mornings.  Is
the use of the word penis, over and over again and its
description, peeing and with whom and all the other disgusting
dialogue really necessary?  It seems that each station tries to
outdo the other in gutter talk...all for the sake of the "ratings
share" which means, of course money in their pockets.  

What has happened to the English language?  We have SO distorted
the first ammendment of free speech, I think our forefathers are
probably turning over in their graves.

All the garbage that is being heard by our impressionable young
people is giving them license to converse with the same,
expletives that they hear on the radio and tv and accept as
normal.

We monitor and restrict TV in our house, but our daily lives and
our main society are so polluted with obsenities.  

Everywhere one turns, one is confronted with  sex,  violence,
explicit pictures in newspapers, magazines and yes, even
childrens books.

There is no way a child or children can be monitered 24 hours a
day.  Even the schools are no longer havens of decency.

When are we going to get some educational programs for our
children to view???

I am, a concerned parent,
