"then join the fight against explicit sex and violence in movies aimed at people under 18." Now there's a cause that should unite everyone. Wonder why it doesn't. Too much residual distrust, I suppose. Some don't want to look like busibodies telling other people what to watch. Others view not just legal prohibition but even strong attempts to persuade people not to show or watch things as a free speech issue. Some look at the "religious right" campaigning against sex and violence (or at least sex) in the movies and since they hate the religious right they avoid joining in on this issue. Also there can be a problem determining what really is aimed at "people under 18". 21 year olds watch a lot of the same movies and TV shows that 16 year olds watch. Tim
