Lepus, I'm not saying the PMRC got everything right. But let's not be so extreme in our knee-jerk reactions. No, I don't want a yellow Star of David on records by Jewish musicians. I also don't want my kids (I have three) constantly bombarded with messages of hatred. Speech and other forms of communication CAN be abusive if taken to extremes -- and I would like to protect my kids from abuse.

It is well established in Constitutional law that there are a number of types of speech that the First Amendment does not protect, from the well-known example of "yelling fire in a crowded theater," to all sorts of overt threats against one or another segment of society. There has been a real marketing push behind entertainment that explicitly and pointedly advocates violence against women, minorities, and law enforcement officials. I think reasonable people can and should look for ways to limit this -- within the bounds of the Constitution generally, and the First Amendment in particular.
