=I defy anyone to show that one city or state with censorship is
any better in this regard than other cities or states like our own,
where there is no censorship, and where such organizations as our
Parent-Teacher Associations are firmly against it.=
They show us a messy lot of contradictions and silly absurdities in
mussing up films, aggravating, useless annoyances, and frequently petty
politics and tyranny as the result of their differences of opinion
about what is good and what is bad, but they cannot show that they
are any better or that they have accomplished anything provably worth
while, that could not have been as well, or better done without these,
to me, ridiculous hobbles.
Anything they have done has been far better done in cities like
Denver, through cooperation of civic agencies with the producers and
exhibitors themselves. Any good that has ever come out of city or state
censorship is sure to be overbalanced by just as much evil and just as
much nonsense as any that has been prevented--if any has been really
prevented.
