OK, then how about rap music and the song "Cop Killer". Many people
called for a boycott (and even tried to get laws passed against rap
music in general) due to the content of that one song.

I was just trying to point out that you were making this some kind of
huge cultural rift, and it doesn't seem that way to me. There are a
lot of issues where I do think we differ (the general worth of human
life as a good example, religious tolerence, freedom of the press,
woman's rights), but getting their knickers in a bunch due to a
percieved injustice seems like a uniter, not a divider.
