Don't worry, I won't ignore you. I'm afraid there is an endless loop of moral posturing implied in your post, because without the creativity and envelope-pushing of popular culture, you moralists would be irrelevant. You need something to bash, to point your finger at and call 'corrupting' or 'evil', in order to make yourselves feel morally superior and to tell yourselves that you are the 'moral guardians of america'. But what it comes down to is this; you are the social and moral conformist bullies who drove the Columbine killers to do what they did, except that your schoolyard is the arena of politics. It irritates you that there are people like Katz who think for themselves and demand the right to think for themselves, people who are creative and intelligent enough to be their own moral guides. And most of all, it irritates you that their exist people with enough balls to break the rules, to stand up and say; "This is BS! I don't accept your moralizing!" For a very long time, people like you have been allowed to set the agenda in houses of legislation around the US, under the guise of 'family values' and 'protecting the children', when in fact what you really want is to go on oppressing those who are different, creative, and intelligent, because they still frighten you with their non-conformity, just like in high school. Well, beware the revenge of the nerds and geeks at the ballot box next year, because we are going to vote you back to the stone ages, where you come from.
