How stupid is this country? Never in my life did I expect to see someone who was for censorship get this close to the White House. I am talking about Tipper Gore. This woman is the reason you can't go to Walmart and buy a CD the way it was meant to be heard! (as well as those little black and white stickers). When I was growing up this woman wanted to abolish Heavy Metal music claiming it was corrupting youths. Now she MAY be the first lady! How can people be so fvcking stupid!

Here is a link:

A funny thing about that is,, she was giving a press conference a few months back and someone asked how she felt about eminem. She said she didn't know who he was. Can you say out of touch?

Yep, this was the same woman that wanted to make sure you and I did not have the right to listen to such evil music as ACDC, Guns And Roses , WASP etc etc . Wouldn't it just be so much better if we were only allowed to listen to and see the things Tipper found good for us?? ;)

Take a listen to the album "Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention" sums it up pretty well.

The crazy thing about Tipper is that she used to play DRUMS in a band in high school.

I remember the PMRC. I remember the congressional hearings with Frank Zappa, Dee Snyder, and others. What a load of sh!t that all was.
