Censoring Hollywood - Bilge

The other night I caught the last half of it on premium cable and learned that the tape I had been watching for years was an edited version, probably for network TV. My reaction was the edited version was better. The f-bombs and other vulgarities in the unedited version were, in my opinion, unnecessary and made the movie I was familiar with coarse and unfit for watching with kids. I don't want censorship, but with freedom of expression I do want some degree of responsibility from the artist. You can't just say don't watch it, because our society is saturated with the stuff.
