I read with interest the Dec. 30 letter from Kathy Steele about the "R"-rated movie she went to recently. She was outraged at seeing young children being taken to this movie. She complained that adults should be more protective of young minds.

Well, Ms. Steele should not have been at the "R"-rated movie. Just remember, your mind is being bombarded with all that junk also. It's adults who are raising the young and when your mind is filled with that trash, you will teach it to the young. It's the simple issue of "don't do what I do, just do what I say."

When young people see you go to those movies, you're teaching them that there is an age when you can watch junk. Not so. Filth is filth at any age. When are you going to learn the lesson, children are going to "do what you do," not "what you say."

That's what is wrong with Americans. We have lost our morals.
