I likewise wonder about the music. Could there be a correlation between it and road rage? I know some of it has an agitating effect on me, and I don't mean because I don't like the music.

Merritt, a very thoughtful response. Although this type of thinking is sneered at by many. I think you have a point. I recently saw a tv show where they were interviewing actual gang members. These kids[and believe me they were just kids] were flashing their guns and pointing them at cars going by saying BANG POW etc. They were clearly acting out what they had seen in films and TV. I also believe that violence against women has at least partially been influenced in this manner. The question is what is to be done about it? I am as frightened about permitting Government censorship as you are but this is as serious a problem as we face in America today.....Sad that the profit motive is so strong that these movie people won't police themselves. pez
