BUSH SIGNS LAW UPPING MORALITY: DOWN WITH SMUT IN DVDs

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

The United States President George W. Bush promised the moral base in America that he would do all he could in this second term to up morality quotients from sea to sea.

Today he signed into law a bill that legally protects filtering companies and aids mothers and fathers concerned about DVD smut. Parents henceforth will be able to "automatically skip or mute sections of commercial movie DVDs," AP reports.

Americans who have an ethical sensibility are anxious about the next generation sliding out of control due to violence, obscenity and lust parlays in lyrics, movies and other so-called entertainment. Therefore, they have appealed to their lawmakers and the executive branch to up the morality milieu. Hopefully, the judicial system will provide its support as well, but one can never tell regarding that branch in particular.

During the Clinton Oval Office antics play-out, it was impossible to hope that the White House would give encouragement to morally based Americans. Instead, the Hollywood glitz regime held sway with the then affable President. As the world knows, he acted out his own immoral scenes time and again within the confines of the executive suite as well as conveniently elsewhere.

Now that we have a President who professes to being biblically grounded ethically, believers in particular hold that they have a chance to return the United States to a sensible, healthy environment, especially for the upcoming generations. Flick entertainment is as good a place to begin as any.

"The legislation came about because Hollywood studios and directors had sued to stop the manufacture and distribution of such electronic devices for DVD players. The movies' creators had argued that changing the content — even when it is considered offensive — would violate their copyrights."

Nevertheless, President Bush went on the moral advance by signing, without comment, the bill. It’s called the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act. From now on, there will be an "exemption in copyright laws to make sure companies selling filtering technology won’t get sued out of existence.’

"The legislation also reauthorizes a Library of Congress program dedicated to saving rare, culturally significant works, such as home movies, silent-era films and other works that are unlikely to be protected by the big studios."
