Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a debate that'll never be lost or won. Because 
it all falls back to a dirty word called censorship. No, I don't want
my children listening to songs with graphic lyrics of any kind, but 
would I support a ban against that music.... No... because I think 
censorship can be abused too easily. One mans poison is anothers ...you
get the point... 
If you allow one group of people to decide whats acceptable in music, 
then they;ll sooner or later be dictating in other areas.... 
it'll snowball...... always does. I certainly think they should put 
some kind of rating label on certain music, just like they do movies. 
And perhaps they could restrict what ages can buy certain music... I kno
kids could work around that just like they do the cigarettes and beer 
laws but it could help that parent who doesn't know any better. Like 
the kids ask for Two Live Crew and they go out and buy it, not realizing
what's on the tape.
