>I wholeheartedly agree with Carol!
I agree with Carol as well, on the too great influence of gov in our
lives. But #1 the law as currently figured will NOT interfere with the
free use of the internet. It is set up so that a group (i.e. ISP, group
of listers, etc.) makes a complaint and the spammer gets kicked. There
must be a complaint first!
#2 the gov did not set up the rating system for TV, the Networks and
producers did. Yea the gov was going to but they accepted what the
Hollywod guys did first.
And again as far as regulating content on the internet what did the
"conservative" Supreme Court say about the Communications Decency Act?
