I think that problem I had with the post I replied to, and I thought it was fairly clear, that I am getting tired of people throwing "freedom of speech" in my face every time they want to talk garbage. Yes, I know that's relative thing, while I may think singing songs to kids endorsing drug use and murder is garbage, others may somehow find that socially redeeming. But that's a discussion that could go on forever.
