It is stupid to make another (or uphold another) censorship law. If these religious wing-nuts want to make the internet safe for their children, fine. Make a law establishing the guidelines for a "child-safe" site and put a $50 gazillion dollar fine on any site that registers as "child-safe" but isn't and then let people download V-chip plugins for their kids browsers.
The world is a place for adults. I have no problem with a small segment being carved out for children. But to try to make the world a place for children with a small place carved out for adults is perverse.
