Some of you may know this, but I just heard it yesterday... they are trying to bring up a bill/issue in the govt that gives ALL movies that contain people 'smoking cigarrettes' a mandatory R rating......

Why can't they leave well enough alone? I thought this was America, the land of the free? Where the constitution allows for us to have freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press... What happened to that?

That's crazy! Why don't they just outlaw cigarettes completely then...

[Bratt]

Isn't that what they are trying to do anyway Chris? Trying to take our freedom of 'choice' away?

I think people should be concerned with some other freedoms and choices being taken away in this day and time.

This is being done ofcourse by the same Government that insisted that movies showing the World trade Centers had to edit them out because it might have hurt the feelings of some People to have to see them.
