I am appauled by the lack of concern for child protection on the internet in comparison with everywhere else. You're right. I don't get it. The leading cause of death for children is automobile accidents. We have some federal regulation to mitigate that, but we still lose thousands of kids a year. We have children that are raped and murdered by their parents or left unsupervised without medical care or not educated or exposed to heaven knows what right in their own homes and neighborhoods. What are the feds doing about that? And you're all indignant and exercised about them potentially seeing something age inappropriate on the internet? If the feds were to go into the business of protecting kids, I think we'd get better value from keeping kids away from drugs, guns, and irresponsible parents. You are advocating new policy/attitudes regarding public safegaurds, not me. You lost me there. My sole point has been that the feds don't belong in this business. As you well know, I say that as a fed lifer.
