People liked making fun of Tipper’s cause, but in many ways she was right. At very least, you need labels to judge the potential filth content. But for a few exceptions, yesterday’s scandalous music is pretty mild compared to the fluent profanity and overt sexualization that grade schoolers are exposed to online day in, day out.
People also laughed at Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign against drug abuse. She was shining a light on a big problem and offering the simplest solution available to each one of us.
I dunno, I think this was back in the 2 Live Crew day, and things were getting very very raunchy. The ground was also being established that blacks could use the “n” word but whites could not.
I pretty much agree with you. Yeah, it backfired but that’s often what happens.
Lot begged the men in Sodom not to continue, but they pressed greatly upon the door.
Are you really comparing Tipper to Nancy Reagan? What a crock...

Indeed. The presumption among secular humanists, though, is that something isn’t harmful to people if it is no longer “shocking” to them because they’ve grown desensitized to it, when actually just the reverse is true.
