Absolutely!  I don't need no stinking government to tell me what is
offensive.  I can make up my own mind, thank you.  All we need is
more government intervention and bureaucracy to drive up the costs of
concerts...

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Remember how prohibition got passed?  A bunch of religious nuts
convinced the government that the people wanted it, when nobody
wanted it at all.  But they were vocal enough to get it pushed
through.  Probably only 20 percent of the population [at most] wanted
it, but they were able to take advantage of the political process to
get their own agenda passed.  The rest of the people allowed it to
happen.  We can't sit by and watch, or the supposed moral majority
will make all our decisions for us...
