Summary: I Pitty All Of The "Concerned Parents" Who Have Read This
Review: First of all, I cackle at the reader who gave this five stars and heralded Tipper Gore as a "brave woman" who wrote this book as an "act of love towards today's youth". Tipper Gore went to a Greateful Dead concert and hung out photo-op style with Jerry Garcia while drug agents busted many people for acid at the same concert. Hillary Rodham Clinton called this book "good information" for parents. In the back of the book there is a plug for the Back In Control Center in LA. Back In Control advocate that black clothing and high top tennis shoes are signs of devil worship. Other signs of devil worship included the peace sign and the JEWISH STAR OF DAVID. Tipper called Back In Control "a family center...who helps people who are deeply involved with punk rock and heavy metal." This is a book of ignorance which brainwashes parents into thinking that music that makes any kind of political statement is a sign of devil worship and should certainly be avoided. As an advocate for the Censorship Movement, this book is a fine piece of anti-intellectualism and anti-individualism which promotes not thinking about anything...at all. After all, happiness IS the enemy of thought. For more information on this book, check out "President McMuffin Tightens The Screws" by Jello Biafra (of which I credit with most of this review)

Summary: Just so you know...
Review: I should specify. I read this book four years ago after I heard about it from Jello Biafra, perhaps the most knowledgable source and victim of Tipper Gore's autocracy. I often feal that I have trouble finding new points to talk about as a political activist and speaker but his are just so shocking and therefore to my taste. If he has tried to point anything out through his spoken word albums and countless speaches (which belive me he has), his highlight would have to have been the energy he put into exposing Tipper's connections with the Religious Right. Phyliph Schalfly of the Eagle Forrum has stated being inspired by Tipper when Tipper spoke at one of the Eagle Forrum's functions ,these functions promoting that woman's place is the home, and tipper has worked with Joe Lieberman who has held six senate commities against rock and rap vs. Tipper's husband Gore's petty two. It is also widely acknowledged that the PMRC (Tipper's action group) sends its information out to people through mail-order christian and televangelist packages. Another reviewer has spoken about the Back in Control center so I don't think I need to continue with that but to sum this up, it is obvious that 'Raising PG Kids in an X-Rated Society' (gee what a creative title) is not the radical ideology and protection based book it claims to be, but works as a soap box for the Religious Right of America. I cannot tell you, furthermore how shocked I was to find that it may have caused complications to print this review four years ago when I read the book (I'm 16 now) makes me skeptical of the book's influence on major corporations like Amazone and whether they my be taking some of what Tipper says about out of control children to heart. To any concerned parent who would question my sanity after exposure unfiltered sex and violence, I would encourage them to come to my house, let me cook them dinner, discuss the issues Tipper fails to address properly in her book with me, and then invite them to hang out with my racialy and sexualy diverse friends while we engage in one of my favourite activities of the day: Discussing philosophy, poetry (often musical), religion, and American foreign policy over the low hum of music by the Dead Kennedies, Anti-Flag, Rammstein, Alexisonfire, Death by Stereo, Led Zeplin, and Pink Floyd. I would then challenge my guests to portray me and my friends as deranged psychopathic killers as opposed to modern day thinkers of truth and wisdom. Personnaly, I think Hobbes would have been proud.

Summary: A MUST-READ FOR EVERY PARENT!
Review: If you are the parent of an adolescent and can't make out the lyrics to your kids' CD's, this book will provide you with some basic education. Just make sure you are sitting down when you read it. The lyrics to some (not all, obviously) of today's popular music openly advocate all kinds of homicide (I'm purposely being general) and sexual promiscuity. Tipper Gore was a brave woman to stand against the amoral producers of such a cruel medium. She succeeded in getting the ratings now conspicuous on most CD's. Thank you, Tipper, on behalf of millions of American parents. Thank you for an act of love toward today's youth.

Summary: well its different!!
Review: Im never suprised by what right wing fundamentalists will come up with next...There's often a string of ideas that are put together to form a belief system, but with this you dont even get that. It's a confusing read that seems to contradict itself...concerned with a way to raise your kids "the good way"... this is more of a list of how to find "every nasty thing society has ever produced" viewed by an artistically devoid and philosophically empty mind set. To me this seems like the sort of thing the SPANISH INQUISITION would be proud of touting about than a genuinely open minded aproach to parenting. Living in Europe Im removed from the blinkered media that exists in the US so can understand how someone could be allowed to release this as a viable parenting guide. Bordering on the edge of racism and blatant bigotist philosophy I feel that this book is a warning sign that shows that the people in power in the US are as removed from society as you could possibly get. This is more than out of touch. If you need this as a guide to parenting then you have failed in life due to the fact you have been sitting in a glass container for too many years.

Summary: Something is wrong with you if you don't agree with me....
Review: Ok, the title is obviously sarcastic but it is also what I believe to be the underlying idea of censorship. Why does the government, Tipper Gore, or anyone else get to decide what is right and wrong for everyone else to see, learn and watch? This denotes that her opinion is somehow better than everyone else's and it isn't enough for her to be absolute in her own beliefs as an individual, everyone else has to agree.
People should be allowed to freely express themselves by saying whatever they want to say no matter how many people find it offensive. If you don't like it, leave. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and has the right to express it (even Tipper). The problem comes when an opinion gets forced down everyone's. Censorship SHOULD be allowed in the private sector though, such as this very website, because censorship is a form of expression in itself when it comes to your own material. In other words, "If you don't like my website because certain words aren't allowed, make your own." It is the totalitarian attitude that the government should be allowed to censor every single form of communication that blatantly disregards the very 1st amendment.
Adults should be able to decide what they want to see hear and listen to. Now of course this book is directed at parents for their kids so that leads to the question, who gets to decide what kids can and can't watch? The answer is simple: their parents! I think it's a parent's responsibility to raise a child as they see fit. Given that in this book she only gives advice, but in the real political world she believes in imposing censorship. It's probably a good idea to know the author J. How would Tipper Gore like it if the powers shifted and someone was telling her how to raise her kids? ALSO: I highly recommend ALL PARENTS see the South Park Episode: Cripple Fight. It has great messages about censorship along with the private sector and the government and more! Plus it is great fun!

Summary: Illogical criticism of D&D
Review: The most notable feature of this book was a chapter concerning Dungeons and Dragons. It states that there are more than 50 suicides per year because of it (????), and that it is satanic. I have experience with D&D and it is nothing of the sort
Rating:
Summary: Just what you'd expect from the leader of the PMRC.
Review: This book is, in a word, ludicrous. Attacking everything from Dungeons and Dragons to the "vile music of our society", good old Tipper manages to paint a picture of misinformation in the guise of "preserving family values". Avoid at ALL costs.
