All I'm saying is that a lot of the conservative Christians of the '90s were arguing for the exact same kind of weird censorship that so-called progressives on the left are arguing for today. If the end goal is the same, it really doesn't matter where you're starting point is. I don't stand for censorship from either side, I never have and I never will. Censorship only breeds an underground, "black market" alternative. I remember hearing that GoldenEye 007, of all games, should be banned because it was too "realistic" in it's depictions of violence. Again, I'm not saying that ultra conservatives of the '90s were worse than what the left is today. All I'm saying is that they were almost identical to todays far leftists and their calls for censorship.
So, to answer your second point there...no I can't say that there's anything better about society today, but I can say that it's almost the exact same bullshit, just from a different side. That's my whole point. We shouldn't be seeking to emulate the morons on the left who want to be purity police.
