about the whole censorship thing. While i agree that there are things that kids need to be protected from, i don't think that protection should come in the form of censorship. Think about it:
Would you want someone else deciding what doctor your family sees?
Would you want someone else deciding what religion you're going to start practising?
Would you want someone else to decide what you're going to be eating from now on? How about what you're NOT going to be eating?
How about what you're going to start wearing?
Or what opinions you are no longer allowed to have?
Why anyone would want someone else to limit their choices for them simply for the sake of making things imaccessible to their children is very much beyond me. The right to think and decide for ourselves is a right we should guard most jealously. Censorship is a poor substitute, indeed, for vigilant parenting.
