Jed at Work PMRC (57* d) RE: PMRC 25 Oct 00


I am happy that my government tries to protect me from agrressive foreign military attacks or renegade terrorist attacks - from the ravages of oceanic erosion or other natural disasters, as much as possible - from illegal and dangerous production of food or medicines - but I don't need the government to protect me from offensive speech. I don't need a governmental watch dog telling Snoop Doggie Dog, the Sex Pistols, Billy Idol or Pete Seeger, Shel Silverstein and Rick Fielding what is and what isn't offensive speech! I don't need Mrs Gore or anyone else telling these artist/performers, how and where they can sing, and to whom they can speak their message!

The PMRC was a foolish scheme to begin with. If we can't take control over our choices for art we don't deserve the freedom preserved for us by our US constitution.
