Was the decision to sell the stock in Time Warner owned by
Philadelphia's municipal pension fund a good one?  (They voted
yesterday to sell $1.6M in Time Warner stock because of Ice-T's album
"Body Count", which has the song "Cop Killer" on it.)  What sort of
precedent does it set?  I'm afraid that other similar groups will
start to use the "objectionable" watermark as their metric for whom
they should and should not fund.  Was it wise?
