You have a point there Tim. I remember my parents just having a fit over that Demon Rock and Roll....and now I tell my kids to turn that Rap Crap OFF!
The sad thing in all this is...we are the generation that will do better than the one coming up behind us. We did better than our parents but our kids won't be having a better way in life than we did. Not much we can do but try to raise well educated kids with common sense and values and hope for the best. Laurie --- Tim Harder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah....
