You're absolutely right about everything you said which is why I wrote "I
didn't know who I would want to draw the line and where".
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.
