I am also a Kansas parent, however I belive in rasing my children all by myself. Personally I am getting really irritated by the rantings of what I can only assume are lazy parents that don't want to be involved in the day to day activities of their kids. I see no need in having the government, be it state or federal telling me what is and isn't right for my children. After reading your post I had to wonder, is it that you don't watch what your young daughters listen to, just the older kids?

I would think that screening what your children listen to and watch would be an accross the board situation. Not reserved for the older ones.
I would also like to address the first line in your post
Quote: "The "settlement" as we have seen in other articles is crap. Most of the cd's are from groups that no one wants to listen to."
Let me list a few of the CD's that no one listens to...
Alice In Chains, "Greatest Hits," "Live"
(according to MTV.com "Greatest Hits" sold 114,000 CD's and "Live" did the same number of CD sales.)

Live, "The Distance to Here"
Once again MTV.com states that there were 138,000 copies of that album sold, giving it them a top ten debut.

Notorious B.I.G., "Born Again"
According to VH1.com Born Again sold nearly 500,000 copies in its first week of release.

Granted I only looked up 3 of the CD's on the list, but I think that there is sufficient evidence that there are people who like to listen to the listed albums.
