New Rating System... Less is Best!

The crux of the rating system is that it is to benefit children and parents, correct? So, what I'd really like to say, from a human standpoint, is: "if you can't control your children and the movies they see, then perhaps 1) you shouldn't have children or 2) you should be prepared to deal with the consequences (if any) of having children who have seen inappropriate movies." I hate it that the MPAA, the government, filmmakers, and private theater owners are held responsible for the eyes and ears of other people's kids. From a policy standpoint, however, I know that we are forced make rules and guidelines for the least of the least in society. I am very much in support of the simpler ratings system because it 1) puts more responsibility on Joe Citizen to decide what kind of messages are going into his or his kid's head, 2) it isn't so arrogant as to assume that such-and-such movie is or isn't appropriate for me or my family and 3) appears to be significantly less subjective and less likely to "pigeonhole" a film, thus making it more attractive to the movie industry, as a whole. Furthermore, for parents who are concerned with the content of movies and who do prefer to gather information before allowing their children to see a film, there are plenty of websites (screenit.com, pluggedinonline.com...) that screen movies and provide information on questionable content. Take responsibility...
