But is the majority of individuals or the minority?
Unfortunately it's the majority, or this wouldn't be an issue. Neither would seatbelts, helmets, or car insurance laws.
not a proven fact. Reference: Violent Music Lyrics Increase Aggressive Thoughts (http://www.apa.org/releases/violentsongs.html) Study links music lyrics to hostile feelings. (http://www.drum-circle.org/study_links_music_lyrics.htm)
I'm sure I can find more.
This is a clear misinterpretation of the law regarding such matters. As one does have the right to speak out against the President.
From this page: (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/01/04/INGPQ40MB81.DTL) The police cleared the path of the motorcade of all critical signs, but folks with pro-Bush signs were permitted to line the president's path. Neel refused to go to the designated area and was arrested for disorderly conduct; the police also confiscated his sign.
Having worked in a mall at a popular retail store I know for a fact that stores are not allowed to play music of their choosing Having worked at a mall previously in a store ;) and having been a shopper for 20+ years, I know for a fact some ARE playing music of their choosing. Even when there are "rules" in place, the managers aren't always around to enforce them, nor the volume level.
Some of the ones they are "required" to play also contain sexually suggestive or explicit lyrics. This music simply should not be available because it could be abused (and is abused) in this such manner.
