...Well, this past week, (click here) my big plans got dealt a death blow by the Republicans of Licking County, Ohio. We got a call from the theater management telling us, "We're sorry but the community board that oversees the theater has voted to not allow Michael Moore to perform his show here. We are declining the rental." When asked why, it was explained to us that, "Michael Moore's appearance here could reflect negatively upon the Midland Theatre. He is too controversial and the risk is too great. The board is afraid that renting the theater to him
may cause the theater to lose long-standing patrons. Our board here is fairly conservative and it was felt that Mr. Moore would try to sway people's minds to vote his way."...

The U.S. Supreme Court reversed the censors. Two years later, Howard Hughes released two sexy confections, "The French Line" and "Son of Sinbad." Both featured legs and cleavage in full-color, widescreen splendor. Both were banned for indecency. This time it was Ohio's Supreme Court that reversed....

I am never buying another Longaberger basket again and the ones I have are being given to the poor!!!!
