I remember when tipper Gore started her drive in the 80's to censor lyrics from teens. Like they would never, ever, see such "bad" words or see such images anywhere else. At age 9, I saw the word "fuck" written on the sidewalk of my neighborhood. Free societies are often not that, and we should be watchful for those who would ban what they don't like--and that's the most difficult thing in the world, for taste is never objective!
