Here is what I take from Frank Zappa's testimony: the power of shame, whether it takes the guise of 'morality' against sex or anything else, is a tool designed to control your mind and your behavior. Never let anyone shame you. Use your mind. Use your reason and your discernment. And understand that anyone who tries to shame you is trying to control and subjugate you. No one has the right to do that. Know your enemy. Stare them in the eye and tell them to go fuck themselves.

Why don't they put all their effort into fighting rape and murder in reality not in fantasy. All they money, all the petitions they sign, all the energy they use should be toward fighting the underlying problems behind violence in real society.

"I would rather have them be ignorant..."

Candy Stroud knows those lyrics WAY to well. By far the creepiest part of this debate is her reciting those lyrics. Nightmarish.

@2222gorgo He's making sure they don't lose control and try to ravage Frank.

Also why is Charlie Rose cupping every woman's arm that asks a question.

[2222gorgo]

Frank doesn't even need to say anything. He can just sit there in his suavity and I'll be on his side forever.

[2222gorgo]

@BoozehammerOfGalem Very well put

[Fermata101]

Watch Zappa when she says he's mocking a serious issue.

[TheBilly1972]

The irony being that when she got her wish and a rating sytem was introduced, the explicit label practically fucking guaranteed people are going to want it! Well done wankers!

I wish Frank had been able to make the connection in the beginning clip about the "everywoman" Tipper Gore. She is wife to Al Gore, then a Tennessee Senator, who spearheaded the PMRC. When Kandy said that a publicity stunt wouldn't warrant hearings on Capitol Hill, Frank could have drawn a straight line through Tipper and Al that would have shed a bit of doubt on the organization early enough to have made it known that it was using Congressional contacts to further its agenda...Frank was right.
