Look, this isn't going out on NBC over the air. It's a webcast. If Grendall can cite me to websites with such death photos, then what's the difference? If one is illegal shouldn't both be.

Ever rented Faces of Death? How is this any different?

As for letting young and old watch it, that is not my, nor YOUR, responsibility to police. For the old, let them make up their own minds. For the young, it's the parents' responsibility -- just like keeping them away from the porno channel or from gory movies (and at young ages -- fake violence in movies is little different from real violence in documentaries).

I am just as disgusted by the notion that these people are doing this as you guys are. But, I'm not about to bend the band members to MY value judgments. I choose not to watch. It's that simple. You, however, choose to enforce your idea of decency. Let's hope you're prepared for the consequences when the notion of what is "decent", as dictated by a moral majority, turns its guns at YOU.

They're doing this in part to support Euthenasia, you know. And, in many parts of the world, there exists a right to die. Perhaps what they're trying to show is that voluntary suicide doesn't look much different than simply going to sleep. Why don't you guys climb down from the high horse for just a moment and simply TRY to see the other side's point of view?
