    I'll ask again. Where is the parental responsibility in this? If the parent is concerned about what the child might see, why isn't he or she
    supervised? You don't let the child wander down the streets freely (I hope). You check to see what they're watching on television (again, I
    hope). You review what books and magazines the child has checked out from the library. Why is the internet different?

    The Internet is Different for the Simple reason that the parents understand Books Television(mostly), Streets, and Books(again, mostly). They do not understand the internet, leastways, not as much as the children, so they fall back on the software to understand it for them. Never Mind that the software has less comprehention than a well-salted slug. Still, tt's often more understanding than the parents.

    But Tolkein wrote Lord Of the Rings..Not Asmov. How do you get those two confused? Not even writing styles are Similar.

    AD&D is a symbol..Everyone recognizes it as "role-playing." Or More Accuritly, to someone who does not Game, all Gaming is D&D. So if the Xtian Right wishes to make noise(which seems to be one of their main objectives), the pressure Hasbro to stop D&D, and define this as all RPG's and CCG's, then with that under treir belt they'll try to nail Miniature Games..if they get absorbed by a large Corp like Hasbro, or branch into non-Gaming businesses.

    Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I should die before I wake, I'll cry in anguish, "Mistake!! Mistake!!"

    I worry about Lactation rooms. I used to work at a company that had them in some locations, and the question burned in my mind, Who would take an infant into work for 8-10 hours a day? That's cruel to the child, and the co-workers.
