158. You are blaming Tipper for what Georgia and Florida did ?
Please...Georgia and Florida are responsible for what they did...

Just because Tipper criticizes a groups songs does not mean she was advocating censorship (which she wasn't)...it means that Georgia and Florida did something they wanted to do all along anyway...

It's like saying if a politician is pro-choice they are responsible for every abortion that takes place...


And you notice now that we do have a sensible labeling system in place, Tipper is no longer on her 'rampage'...if she was a moral zealot on a censorship rampage I think we would have heard from her by now. From my perspective, content is no different now than it was before. The only difference is that now we know what is in the album before we buy it. Thanks to Tipper we are now better informed consumers!!!

As to her daughters listening to the Prince song...exactly how was she supposed to know what was in the content?

Does she need to buy every album and screen them first? What she wanted...and what she got, and what makes sense is the labeling system that is in place.
