For those of you who know me, I am pro-active in my community by being a member of the Community for Decency program. A recent article came out that I thought I'd share.
ARE YOU A SILENT SHOPPER?
You purchase groceries and notice some indecent magazines as you check out . . .you are silent.
You rent a movie at the video store and see a display of explicit videos . . . you are silent.
You check out a book at your local library and notice a man accessing pictures of women at his computer terminal . . . you are silent.
You drive past a billboard with an inappropriate image and tag line on your way to work . . .you are silent.
Indecency has become the norm. We have become desensitized. Much of what used to upset us no longer affects us. Yet, we have the legal right and the moral obligation to decide the types of advertising, projects, businesses, and entertainment allowed in our community.
We have all been guilty of "being silent." Our silence has created a chain reaction across our nation, a reaction that is causing more harm than we will ever know. Your words, or lack of them, make a difference. Think about it. We challenge you to no longer be a "silent shopper."
