Recently I had the most fulfilling experience.  I single-handedly
started,  promoted,  and followed through with HB2554.  It turned
out to be the most controversial bill ever.  It was the  'Erotic-
Music  Bill'.   Very simply, the Bill just added Sound Recordings
to the current Minor's Pornography Law  which  already  restricts
the  sale  of XXX-magazines and XXX-movies.  The only people that
were against this bill were either going to lose money (from  the
exploitation  of  children), or were ignorant of the lyrics.  The
Minors who rebelled were afraid that a lot of their  music  would
fall  into  this erotic music category.  Believe me no Prosecutor
is going to bring a song or  album  before  a  Judge  that  isn't
totally  obscene,  like  the  music  in question.  This is a very
expensive procedure!!!  For your  reading  enjoyment  here  is  a
sample of the lyrics in question:

        If you s*ck my d*ck, I'll eat your pu**y.
        Lick my a*s b*t*h up and down,
        Lick it till your tongue turns doo doo brown
        Put your lips on my d**k and suck my as*hole too.
        Suck my d**k and make it puke.
        Forget the salads and just eat my meat.
        When you don't have a d**k
           just finger-f**k yourself.
        We can do whatever comes to mind,
           let me stick my d**k in your behind.

This Bill passed overwhelmingly in the House and in  the  Senate.
The Lawmakers were floored when they saw the lyrics, as were most
other decent and concerned people.

Recently I came across one Kurt Cockrm who had  a  lot  of  fancy
words  and weird ideas of 'Freedom and Censorship'.  Never before
have I come  across  an  adult  that  would  encourage  vandalism
amongst  our  youth.   According  to  Mr. Cockrm -- "I hope every
teenager in the state gets a can of spray paint.  I would like to
see  'Fuck  Censorship'  appear  everywhere.   I hope that lady's
house gets a coating of graffiti thicker than the  paint  on  the
walls  of  the bathroom of the Last Exit coffeehouse.  I hope she
roasts in audio hell."  Wasn't that clever  and  MATURE!!!   Talk
about  being  clueless  and  uninformed.   You have about as much
maturity as a pre-teen.  Not  having  any  kids  yourself  really
leaves  your  ideas,  morals, and values in Outer Space -- Not in
REALITY!

After our conversation and  you  said  that  everyone  should  be
accountable  for their actions regardless of age, I knew that you
were in the Ozone.  You thought that kids should be able  to  buy
alcohol,  cigarettes, XXX-magazines, and XXX-movies regardless of
age-- Again--Get down to Earth.  Could you see the  disarray  and
mayhem?   Any  decent  law-abiding citizen with morals and values
and also with worries of where our youth  is  going  today  would
agree  that  these  lyrics  should be put in the same category as
pornography books,  and  movies.   Sorry  Mr.  Kurt  Cockrm  your
apology  leaves  a  lot to be desired!!!!  Try again...Maybe they
should spray paint your house with  'Wake up clueless Grandpa' Oh
but then again you never had any kids...WELL.........

                             KAREN LESLIE.....

P.S. Your bean analogy was quite clever..HA HA!!
