Rap Music Serves to Weaken Nation’s Moral Values
Rap Music Serves to Weaken Nation’s Moral Values
Editor,
How is rap music affecting our society? Listen to the words, what does it promote?
I say it is a pernicious element that fosters undesirable things like violence, drug use and lawlessness among our youth.
Rap music also berates the most important foundation in a society, the family. A normal, responsible family should be promoted, not belittled. Loving, stable parents are all important in the creation of emotionally healthy children,ones who will not fall by the wayside.
What to do?
When you go into a store ask if they sell rap music. If they do, express concern to the manager, shop elsewhere.
Take an interest in what today’s youth is doing. Stand up and support things help raise our society and reject the things that weaken the moral values this country was founded on. Attend a school board meeting, make your concerns known.
You can make a positive change in the direction of this country. Start today.

‘So-Called Affordable Housing Measures’ Hurt Housing Costs
Editor,
It is notable that at least three of the cities mentioned in your recent article on affordable apartments have rent control. (page A7, Oct. 27.) This socialist interference with the housing market, along with so-called ‘affordable housing’ measures, have been shown time and again to reduce the supply of housing and increase housing costs. Government interference with markets always has unintended consequences. The highest housing prices in the world may be in Moscow, where the government owns all of the land.
