How is a rating system censorship? Movies have a rating system in this country, but it's hard to say they're being censored. Censorship means making it illegal to create or publish a certain piece of communication (work of art, speech, whatever). Rating labels hardly constitute censorship, nor does a library deciding not to buy a book, nor does the government deciding not to buy a particular piece of art with the public's money, nor does a school district deciding not to make a certain book assigned reading.

A rating system allows parents to know what's in a CD before they buy it for their kids, or allow their kids to buy it for themselves. That's all. Is that so horrid?

I'm 100% dead-set against censorship. But only against REAL censorship, not stuff that isn't censorship going under a false label.
