   THE BLAME FOR FILTH

   To the Commercial Appeal:

   Hollywood is not to be blamed for the filth and trash shown
   on our screens.  Hollywood shows only what viewers want to
   see.  Since the Supreme Court outlawed Christianity, national
   morals have declined to where the United States has none. 

   That explains why _Roseanne_ with its filth and trash could
   be No. 1 on the TV.  Every other line is "oh my god."
   Michael Jackson with all his makeup can be a superstar even
   though he can't sing.  For all her actions, Tonya Harding can
   be a hero....[ellipsis was there in the paper]  The United
   States needs to wake up.  However, there is still hope as
   long as we have young men like Capt. Scott O'Grady.

(For its many faults, the _Commercial_Appeal_ does have the wonderful
habit of publishing great foaming-at-the-mouth letters.  Christianity
outlawed?!)
