RAT Tipper & the moral "center"

Could only take about five minutes of the convention before I was in a snit listening to Lieberman go on about Tipper restoring the moral center to America and how American parents have to compete with pop culture to raise their kids. Compete? We hand our children over lock stock and barrel--very willingly. How many parents use television and video to babysit their children? I know someone who complains constantly about what's on television and in the movies, but her son has been planted in front of the television for the last 13 years that I've know them, because she can't be bothered with him. Maybe parents should try harder to COMPETE with pop culture. Too easy to blame others for our own abdications.
