[Vision2020] Pro-war songs

Very fascinating approach, Tex, and I tend to agree with you (especially 
considering this free enterprise system of ours).

Whether or not a song has been banned in cities, on certain radio stations, or 
simply in your living room is insignificant.  Simply saying that something has 
been banned attracts the masses.  This is why alot of movie producers shoot for 
an "R" rating versus a "PG" rating.  It simply draws a larger crowd.

Just how many copies of Salmon Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" would have been sold 
without it being banned and bounty being placed on Salmon Rushdie's life?
