Hes a whole person to them. Now that i know he couldnt function that as a human that says a lot more. It says so much. I was thinking i wonder how they are going to subtitle that. But then that led me to thinking about the publications to where they take the seven letters, seven words and they will put the first letter. Its shocking the world. If he were here, i have the former dean of the law school the board of Trustees Professor blanchard that question, so. In the education that is a question of choice by the publication. It would be very difficult in First Amendment law to get trouble if they are talking about it in this context. The indecency provision only applies to broadcasting, the protecting of speech. So thats basically not the actual content in and a big paf the definition is where and in fact i think im right the words that we said here when you see the daily show with jon stewart and the bleep those words out on television or satellite, that is a question of choice, the people producing the show. It isnt a requirement brought to you by the broadcast spectr spectrum. Its an Interesting Development because i dont think any of us today think about this is a Cable Access Television show as opposed to nbc access. But therein lies the difference as to why the government can have a greater control over broadcast spectrum and that indecency provision only as a matter of law applies. The word is being said in your head, so its not like i wonder what that word is a. There is those in the universe and the way they got around this is they created their own curse words and indecent words. Now just imagine imagine a word that begins as many of us might be offended by. In Virginia Beach there is an ordinance that i think is unconstitutional. The street signs in virginia that is exactly the kind of thing that you see the little and, only they are all put up there and then theres the red circle with a line through it and its posted to go walk down the Virginia Beach and you will see the signs there. Fascinating. Next question. Hello, kelly. Im glad you are here. Im curious, because i actually dont have the answers. Back in the day before paparazzi as big as it is today, whats your family unit ever know, we were so lucky we never were i think because my dad was a part of the popculture, the sickest thing about tabloid stuff is the one time that we showed up there is when my mother was dying of liver cancer and we were in the National Enquirer for that and i just thought you have got to be kidding me. It was just horrific. But now, very lucky that in my teenage years there was nothing like that around yet. I went to school in la with all kinds of kids and we were doing a lot of illegal things. Just crazy teenage stuff and think god. It felt at the cardassians. But we were always very protected and ar really back ine day we lived there in the early 70s and during that time what was really dangerous was the cop because usually he was going to be but im glad there wasnt. They came along and discussed a lot of things here. One of the things that fascinated me the most for his fans after his death to you and the disparate responses as well as the Comedy Community which you have not been a part. Before my dad died, i would watch a little bit of comedy. It was my dads job and he was in theater but it wasnt a thi thing. So i didnt know a lot of comedians come up one or two maybe. And when they started calling me immediately the next day and i found myself sitting on the floor one morning and it was an incredible thing because what of them my dad was their great uncle of comedy and they all said to me we are here for you. We know youve are alone. If you need anything please pick up the phone and call us. Social media became a thing. His fans found me and i dont know what i would have done without them because theyve really lifted me up and loved me unconditionally. They could share his material and in some ways i have to eventually grow out of that and walk out of the shadow of a little bit, but i felt like there was a web that kept my head just above the water of grief so that i didnt completely disappear into that and its an interesting thing about grief as many of you know its a unique process. But now that the book is out it came out last september, i feel like on some level that im done being George Carlins voter i mean, i still am been able to now have my own time of personal grief. I dont have to be on display anymore. And even though i do events like this and my show, it is a private space for me now because there is this public space, so ive been watching my journey and its very fascinating. We have time. Before we kick of take off pleal out an evaluation card, turn your cell phones back on. The petition whatever localpeti, paramount or something to have the play version of the book and sign up to bring this to charlottesville. Thank you all for coming. Hour half.

Via the noti have a note fros instructor and he doesnt want to be exposed to any training against his teaching. Itteaching. His back my Plastic Surgeon doesnt want me doing any activity that involves balls flying at my nose. There goes your social life. [applause] look at all of you, so beautiful and young with your whole lives ahead of you. Im going to start this off by reading something very important to me. Its a poem by john clare called i am. My friends forsake me like a memory lost. I am a self consumer of my woes. Rise and vanish like shadows and yet i live and like vapors tossed into the nothingness into the living sea of waking dreams where there is neither a sense of life with joy that the shipwreck of my life even the dearest that i love the bass are strange. I long for scene a place where women never smile or what bigger to my creator god and sleep untroubled and im troubled where lies the grass below. That is very important to me because the end part where it says where in childhood sweetly slept, i never got to experience that. That wasnt my life. I saw my first dead body when i was three and i have to say that wasnt the most traumatic thing. I could tell he was dead by the look in his eyes. But what i saw was this intense peace and all of my fear went away because if you dont fear death, what do you fear, nothing. I was three. Finally my mother brings me home and i have a little brother which was my joy. He was my little baby. My parents were not well. They were worse than they had ever been. My mother tried to take her life i saved her life because i found her. I was told to leave her alone, i was a 5yearold and i was stubborn and i liked things my way. I went in to try to wake her anyway and i couldnt. I screamed for my cousin and they came in and the next thing i knew she was taken away in an ambulance. I then later realized that she had tried to commit suicide. I had an uncle, he was a very powerful figure in my neighborhood. I grew up in the south bronx. It was great because the kids, the neighborhood, every everyone was like family. Use played in the streets. You played hopscotch and you ran around, you played played tag and you play games. There was also a dark element, im not going to lie. I think they had a lot of prestige and power and they knew i was his knees and not to mess with me or bad things will happen to you. My uncle freddie always told me you are special stacy, something about you is special and you can do anything that you want to do in this life. Dont ever be anybodys trick and when the jesus train comes, make sure you are on it. Now has a little girl i got the jesus part, the trick part i was like, he must mean dont let people play tricks on me. It wasnt until i was 12 and found out that he was a that i realized he was talking about something else. But anyway, he was my favorite uncle because he showed me love and so much love. He took care of me and made me feel like i was special because my mother never did. My mother never told me i was beautiful or special or any of those things. I feel like if your mother doesnt tell you, no matter who does in your life, and never sinks in. They can say it in magazines and they can say it on tv, a man can tell you every day, but if youre mother never tells you, it will never sink in. Im still in search of that feeling of i am beautiful. I still have to wake up in the morning and say, stacy, you are worth it, you are good enough. Its still a battle. I have to get that courage and that fortitude to stick to doing that from god. He is the only one that can make me feel better. I can do all of these other things that you will read about in the book and ive made a lot of mistakes, ive been married and divorced three times but i have two beautiful children. My son is special because i almost didnt have him. I was pregnant with him at a time where i was doing things i should not have been doing. I was doing drugs and you think after being with a parent who did drugs i would know better, but i did them in spite of myself. I did them to spite them. I did them because me being a good girl wasnt good enough so i thought okay all do drugs. Instead of hurting them i just hurt myself. When i found out i was pregnant, i was so far along i was in an abusive relationship and the man i was with was beating me on a daily basis and i just thought i cant bring a child into this world. This is not right. Im doing drugs, its not. Work. So they had to put me under, they put the iv in me but i was crying and crying and crying. I couldnt stop. Now this was later on in my life. I taught myself to not cry and to be mad instead. I said to myself god, you have to tell me what to do. I dont dont want to sign or signal, you have to tell me what to do because this doesnt feel right. Something is wrong. God spoke to me like im speaking to you right now and he said keep your son. He even told me it was a boy. I ripped the iv out of my arm, i jumped up and the nurses that i was crazy, the doctors thought i was crazy, they said come down, but you get this feeling that theyre gonna take my baby, i had to get out of there, i was keeping my baby. The doctor said hold on, lets do, lets do a sonogram and make sure everythings okay. That was the best thing he couldve ever done because when we did that sonogram i saw that little peasized heartbeat inside of me and all i could think was how could you have possibly imagined getting rid of this little life growing inside of you. I just thought and me kid, thats it because i knew the man i was was with was not going to be around and i knew the other man that was stalking me was going to not stop stalking me but i was going to fight for me and for my son. My son suddenly made by life important. I stopped doing all drugs. I stopped doing anything bad for my body. But i couldnt stop the outside things that were happening to me my son and i, i had my son and i got a job acting in my acting career was going well, everything was fine. Then my son turned three and we had to move because like i said, i was was being stopped. He would find out where i would live so i would move and move and move. I had moved five or six times. I cant even tell you. Me and my little boy. At three years old i got a gun and they said enough is enough. Thankfully i did because this man decided to break the door off the hinges and come inside the house. My son was asleep upstairs and he beat me up and so i ran upstairs and i got my gun and i tried to kill him. I shot at his head and i wanted him dead. Think i missed. But the moral to that story is, what im doing now my age because i have a 12yearold little girl, ive decided that i am no longer going to have premarital. Im not going to do it anymore because i now realize its a part of my soul that is precious and the only person that deserves that is a man that has vowed to god to stay with me for the rest of my life. I now understand what marriage is and how important it is and if im teaching that to my child whose 12, no premarital sex, then i have to do the same thing. The best way to teach is by example, so thats what im doing. My strength for me to stand up for what i know to be true for me and i know to be true and valuable to god comes from god. When people say to me, stacy, how do you take all the heat that you get and all the backlash, its not me, its the grace of god. I can say to you girls, as you are growing, theres so much that youre going to face in so many things that youre going to want to do so many men that are going to make you want to do things, but remember, you are valuable. Before your valuable, you are worthy of love, of gods love. We are grateful that gods love is unconditional and hes always forgiving i believe its never too soon and never too late. With that i would like to open it up to you. You can ask me whatever you want. [applause] you are one very brave lady. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Ladies, students, if you wouldnt mind, if you would line up to ask questions and give your name and the college, and dont be shy because, come on up and stand up and ask. It was very wonderful to hear your story and its very admiral that you opened up and shared this with all of you. What has been your biggest challenge . My biggest challenge is men. I want to be loved. I want to be married and my biggest challenge is sticking to my bow, to god and my biggest challenge is that because i love love. I have to learn how to take it slow and trust god that he will come, my knight in shining armor my name is abigail, my friends call me abby. My question for you is, youre a liberal, what was that transition . Where is was there a moment . There was a moment. I was have a conversation with a man i was dating at the time and he was a very wealthy man and we were talking about social issues and i said to him, that doesnt sound right. That sounds like socialism. He said stacy, this is socialism. You are living in a socialistic society. And i said no, that cant be right. No, i dont like obama or what hes doing but its not socialist. Then he said think about it and i said it is, it is socialist. I started paying more attention to politics and how they apply to life and what should i do about it. What i get is i voted for romney, the only hope for your future and i got backlash and people thought because im black i have to vote for the black man. Thats absurd. You should judge people by their character not by the color of their skin. Thats what i believe and thats what i think everybody should believe. Absolutely. Thank you. I attend Liberty University and my question is how do you. [inaudible] black people who are being criticized for their conservative values. Stand firm in your beliefs. You dont need to defend because theres nothing you should have to defend. Stand firm. God bless you and i commend your bravery. Thank you. I was wondering. [inaudible] do you think theres any conservative woman in particular that you look up to . Yes, margaret thatcher. I love her. I loved her conviction and i love tell she went and achieved so much and so many people tried to tell her no you cant and no thats impossible. She proved it was possible
