I think your article in the July 29, Magazine concerning censorship including 2 Live Crew was simply common sense. I do, however, have a couple of comments brought to mind by a couple of things you wrote. This is true but incomplete. To me, this has always indicated that we Americans consider sex and violence to be synonymous. I am not sure about the rest of Americans, but in my life at least, sex and violence are two entirely different things.
Sex is a beautiful thing denoting pleasure.
I associate neither beauty nor pleasure with violence. I think love and sex often have a very proper place in many of the movies I enjoy. I think violence can be necessary in many movies to get a point across or to set a mood or for other reasons. Nevertheless, while I often enjoy sex in movies, I can't say that I ever enjoy violence. I do feel that sex, violence, vulgar language, music, color, actors, and many other things are often misused in movies, but I try not to watch those.
