Abstain

So the Northeast would be dictating what record companies label their disks with? This seems highly unnecessary and overreaching.

Not to mention that determining whether something be say, recommended sixteen or recommended seventeen would probably require a special "panel" which could even lead to CD's languishing in a backlog instead of hitting the shelves.

Well, to play devil's advocate, do you think any stickers should be placed on CD covers to advertise potential inappropriate content?

I believe, and I am pretty sure that Dallas would concur, that companies should be able to sell their products in whichever way they have determined is best, and I would not presume to know how to do that than they do.

Yes.

In fact, I think any responsible parent would be doing a little research on the product themselves before letting their child have a video game or CD. If a parent is that far removed from their child's life, then there are more problems in the household than whether Marilyn Manson is on their kid's iTunes.

EDIT: I see the bill has been withdrawn.

Aye. (trying to bring back a trend)

I find sin taxes to be wildly unwholesome. Not to mention that most states attempt to justify their cigarette taxes by claiming they "go towards children's health care" but I'm pretty sure CHP's are federally funded.

Nay.

You know, I honestly don't know what to say my friend. I am rather honored that you hold me in such high esteem, although I do not think I am deserving. You are indeed a class act, never change.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Aye.
