TV censorship
Sir—So Brian Priestley in "Fourth Estate” on TVI (September 3), believes the unrighteous majority should have precedence over the righteous minority. Pleasure at any price. Evidently Mr Priestley has not read the Bible, or has forgotten that God thought otherwise and spared not the majority but saved only eight righteous people, Noah and his family. Since when did the wishes of a wicked majority (and people who desire depravities on their TV sets are unquestionably evil) have rights over the minority, just because they are a minority? If the majorities have rights over •the innocent, then the very laws made and compiled by minorities could never exist and maintain law and Order. Had ■ it not been ■ for the righteous minority of Noah’s day, God would have caused humanity to die there and then. — Yours, etc., RENEE STANTON. September 4, 1982.
