Not American, but if I was, I'd probably agree with you on most of these things, except for (g). Do you really think something like "morals" should be the concern of the government? Do you think it's even something the government can do anything about if they tried?

I think in concerns to morals - which can be a broad subject - the government should take a stronger stand on the type of TV shows that are on TV to a general audiance. Networks shouldn't be able to air shows showing that sex and drugs are fine in the earlier time slots of television. Yes, children and teenagers are going to be exposed to the sex and drugs but do we really need to be saying that it's fine to have random sex with people on a show that's on at 4 in the afternoon? 9 or later at night is fine (though there's more to life then sex and I really wish that the TV shows would get that) but 4 in the afternoon? Come on. The government can do something about that.
