Subject: RE: banned songs
Maybe it's "old age" setting in.....but I wish that things had not gone the way they have. I have heard it said...that with everything gained...there is also a loss....."You gain knowledge...you lose innocense"

Is it just me????......In my youth, I was always against censorship.....but now, I am not so sure. Nowadays you can be driving down the road with the kids....or grandchildren......stop at a light...and a car with a "Boomer" pulls up next to you......The Bass hurts your ears.....and the lyrics......as many four letter words as you can think of......You can't get away...you have to hear it you've got no choice.....And the kids gotta hear it too.... In a way, I feel as though I have been deprived of a freedom....and the children verbally assaulted.....Maybe I just don't see things right........who knows???

Maybe there should be a "penalty"........Maybe the "offender" should be strapped into a chair and forced to listen to "Barney" records.......(played on his high output system)
