My Letter to Governor Hunstman

I recently sent an email to Governor Huntsman regarding our experience with the movie last week. Here is the email I sent:

Dear Governor Huntsman,

Last week, I went over to a female friend's house with my sister to watch a movie. My friend had rented the movie from the local Blockbuster Video. It was marked as Not Rated, which my friend took to mean that there was nothing objectionable in it. Not very long into the movie, suddenly everyone on the screen was naked. We stopped the tape immediately, but that couldn't undo the damage that had been done, as my innocent friend and my dear 15-year-old sister had already been contaminated.

What makes me so angry is that, because this movie is unrated, anyone -- of any age -- could have rented it. Anyone could have mistakenly believed, as my friend did, that a movie about Victorian England with no rating would certainly be innocent. But anyone who made that mistake would pay dearly, just as we have.

I believe that we here in Utah should stand for something higher. This smut has no place in our communities, and the only way we will be in a position to lift the rest of the country is if we get to high ground immediately. Please let me know as soon as possible what you and I can do to alleviate this scourge on our state. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Peter Parley

I will let you all know what he has to say. I am excited to work with him in solving this problem.
