I may not like most of the groups the article listed but then I don't have to listen to them if I don't want to. I can't see this as lasting to long, no way this will be considered constitutional.

Censorship like that should not/can not be allowed to continue!!

An option might be that some things require a parents approval before a child can listen. As far as restricting adults, no way!!

I don't get it. What is with people who feel the best way to promulgate their own ideas about what is "right and good" is to outlaw anything that doesn't conform?

Are they going to outlaw Dickens to prevent children being exposed to the evils of pickpocketing? Daft. They're picking out particular artists who, for whatever reason, scare them. And since fear arises from ignorance more often than from knowledge, the situation becomes self perpetuating.

It's not the right answer. Censorship is never the right answer.

Gentlefolk,

It happens more often than one might think:

I'd guess that it depends upon WHO thinks WHAT is objectionable.

There's nothing wrong with censorship & mind control. As long as they're *my* brands of censorship & mind control.

gekkogecko,

I'm with you on this one - although we may have to work to find suitable common ground.

There is a system age-rating films, some DVDs and some magazines.

If there are things which may be inappropriate to a 12yr old, age limit them.

Should kids be able to grab the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana or Sir Richard Burton's

The Perfumed Garden?

Appropriate access is one thing, outright censorship is a total other.

I think I may have some work to do in Kansas... Pro-bono.

That is just ridiculous!!! My daughters library card is linked to mine so if I was worried about her selections I could moniter them... thats the parents job to decide what they feel is acceptable for thier children not the government!!
