Okay, after wading through a lot of different font sizes, colors, and rants on various sites, here is my takeaway:
Participation is voluntary. Which is good.
Nonetheless, government encouraging what it thinks is the best direction for anything, much less entertainment, is very dangerous ground.
I kind of chuckled at the Opening Post saying the market should decide which way the entertainment industry should go. This is the market which gave us reality TV, right?
I suffer from cognitive dissonance when the faction which protects all the best ideals ends up with television shows which bring out the very worst in people. All the seven deadly sins are celebrated on these shows. Actually rewarded.
Something is broken, for sure. I agree the government is not the cure, but GODDAM, something is seriously broken!!
