Answer by Laura Williams
Seeing as how this week marks the 29th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, as well as Madonna’s 48th birthday (!), we thought we would spotlight the Top Ten Rock Movies. The movies selected for this list are not concert films or documentaries but rather narrative films about rock and roll. Some of them are about fictitious rock artists, while others feature real-life rock stars playing themselves or versions of themselves. Some of the films are biopics of rock stars. All of the films, though, capture the rock music of their respective eras and show how Hollywood treated the art form and those who made it.

Do You Agree With Ron Paul on This? What Do You Think of the Parental Consent Act Introduced by Him?
Question by : Do you agree with Ron Paul on this? What do you think of the Parental Consent Act introduced by him?
“Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce the Parental Consent Act. This bill forbids Federal funds from being used for any universal or mandatory mental-health screening of students without the express, written, voluntary, informed consent of their parents or legal guardians. This bill protects the fundamental right of parents to direct and control the upbringing and education of their children.
The New Freedom Commission on Mental Health has recommended that the federal and state governments work toward the implementation of a comprehensive system of mental-health screening for all Americans. The commission recommends that universal or mandatory mental-health screening first be implemented in public schools as a prelude to expanding it to the general public. However, neither the commission’s report nor any related mental-health screening proposal requires parental consent before a child is subjected to mental-health screening. Federally-funded universal or mandatory mental-health screening in schools without parental consent could lead to labeling more children as “ADD” or “hyperactive” and thus force more children to take psychotropic drugs, such as Ritalin, against their parents’ wishes.
