Problem here is that PEOPLE are involved! People lie, steal, rape, as well as become Mother Teresa too. And they take all that they see and turn it into literature and all manner of art---even songs---trad and otherwise.(Lawrence Durrell in his amazing ___Alexandria Quartet___ says, at one point, "There are three things you can do with a woman. You can love her. You can suffer for her. Or you can turn her into literature!)

Sometimes it's O.K. to like songs with violent themes; sometimes not! The LAW, at any given moment, is whatever the Supreme Court might say it is! No absolutes! Every coin has two sides. Yin & yang. Every act has a positive aspect as well as a negative side. In nature there's no good or evil.
All of the above statements reflect the personal morality, baggage and ethics of those writing here.

Good polemic, but solves nothing! (This too!)
