Keeping anime and stoping ignorance

To:  George Bush

I'm writing this petition as a response to this one: http://www.petitiononline.com/cutiepie/petition.html. There are people out there who think nothing better than this of anime. People who come up with two bad examples and forget to check for good ones. They forget to mention such big hits as Pokemon and Digimon, which teach kids that good always triumphs, and that hard work, belief in yourself, and good friends will get you through life. Even if this isn't true, as a child you need these sorts of hopes and dreams.

And then, you have Spirited Away, which recently won an award here in the United States. Is this show evil, too? Is this show about courage and helping others evil?

Is it so wrong to believe in love? Is it so wrong to believe in being accepted? I see where she may have a point with Love Hina for children; however, I don't see the point for teenagers. Let's all remember the smash hit Titanic, in which the main character has a love affair behind her fiancé’s back...and they show her naked. This was PG-13, and Love Hina is around those ratings as well. Does Titanic teach good examples? Oh, it's all right to cheat with some man when you're engaged, that's fine. However, to be a single teenage boy and turned on by girls...that's a no-no.

What the world is suffering from is a big dose of ignorance. People refuse to look at the United States of America and admit that we AREN'T perfect, no one is. There are going to be cruel and evil people no matter where you live. Rape, violence, etc... these things have almost ALWAYS existed, before anime even came around. Before television even came around. Who are they going to blame there?

And these people, who believe so fully in the United States of America being perfect, are petitioning to take away our rights of free speech. Trying to take away our rights of free press. If a company wants to put out a manga title and rates it appropriately, isn't that right given to them?

If you believe anime should be kept around, and that our freedom should be protected, please sign this. Don't let the people who are too ignorant to see the real problem take away what they don't understand.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
