One afternoon, an old man ordered in a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
He went inside, find a seat and sit comfortably. 

Then one smiling waiter approached him and asked: "What's your order for this morning, sir?" The old man replied, "Can I have one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast, please?" 
The waiter with his two brown eyes glow with awe, answered, "One rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast? (with an emphasis on the word "rubbery and burnt") Was that correct sir?" "Yes, you just said it right", the man replied.
 
"Why on earth would you want such a dish?" asked the waiter.  
 "My wife was out of town and I missed her cooking." replied the old man. 
"Oh! I see". the waiter answered with a smirk and walk back scratching his head.

Describe the main disagreement between Susan Baker and John Denver. Use two details from the testimonies to support your respons
g100num [7]

Answer:

The main disagreement between Susan Baker and John Denver was about placing a warning label on music products inappropriate for younger children due to explicit sexual or violent lyrics while John Denver did not support any censorship of any kind on music released.

Explanation:

Firstly, John Denver, a Folk-rock musician, was strongly opposed to censorship of any kind in the society or anywhere else in the world  and that in his experience censors often misinterpret music, as was the case in one of his songs.

Secondly, John Denver believed that censoring is counter productive, in that the more people are prevented from doing something the more curious they are to try to do it. In essence, he said that which is denied becomes that which is desired, and that thing that is hidden becomes the most interesting to search for.
