There were others who were influential and vocal in regard to music censorship and heavily involved with the PMRC in America. However, these were all known as the "Washington Wives" and absolutely do not represent "middle America." I live in middle America, and we do not uphold that belief system. Place the blame where it lies - not with where the populace says it should lie.

I think this is an interesting topic to discuss (we've touched on it before), but so as not to drag the thread off topic, I started another one here (ironically, in the Off Topic Forum
):
