The FCC, not complete crap?

It is good to see that the FCC has decided that Saving Private Ryan, a film that won 5 academy awards, wasn't too indecent to show without massive editing. ABC showed it last veterans day unedited and apparently people voiced concern to the FCC about the violence and profanity. despite the massive warnings, and the fact that it is a widely seen film and everyone should have a good idea about what you're getting into when you watch the movie, people still felt the need to complain. and apparently the FCC managed to exercise the control of a normal person and say: "too bad! Saving Private Ryan is a great movie and if you don't want to see the violence and profanity then don't watch." This is definitely an area where i'd like to see less involvement from the federal govt. and just let us watch what we want. there are v-chips right? parents still stop in on on their 4 year olds and make sure she isn't watching hardcore porno all the time right?
