TV violence
If domestic violence really is the main cause for aggression in kids, then the rules for what can be shown on tv have no merit. The ratings, the bleeping of cuss words, etc. would be completely pointless and should be removed. However, if tv violence would no longer be an issue, they would have to remove the bleeping on the radio aswell. Although I agree that all the bleeping they do these days, and all of the ratings for tv is midly silly, I still think that it plays some part in aggressive behavior in children. Yes, it is silly to bleep the word "drugs." Yes it is silly to bleep out the word "suicide." But the other vulgar words should continue to be cut out from tv and radio, to encourage children to not use these words. The same goes for TV violence. Although it may not be the main cause of aggression in kids, it still plays a part.

I partly agree with what you have stated regarding safeguards being put to rest. However, the bleeping of words on t.v. bothers me and always has because it cuts to close to violating our freedom of speech. And once one of our freedoms have been violated, it's going to be a long slippery slope.
