I would hate to think that decency is what is restricting the networks
from developing good programming. I would argue that much of the
"CSI/CIS" franchise is worse than most of what is on cable with its very
graphic violence and morbid scenery. Personally, I would also argue
that a civilized society, one that is progressive rather than decadent,
would take decency into account in all it does, including television
programming, just for the justice of it, even for the politeness of it.
Of course, to many in our society, those concepts are considered
negative terms instead of positive.

I think decency is viewed by the program producers as a huge limitation
on how much money they *could* be making if they could air XXXX Porno
all hours of the day and night.
