Interesting reading.. I liked this part.
"Kennedy even went as far as saying that the government could still enforce existing obscenity laws if they wanted to, but what they can?t do, is make it illegal for adults to share material with other adults. Children are hurt every day by cars, but we don?t ban adults from driving, we merely try to do a better job of protecting them. We don?t even ban guns that kill children, instead we try to teach gun owners to be more responsible. Yet for some reason, people who don?t like pornography, explicit lyrics in songs, suggestive adult material on the radio, or over-the-hill pop stars exposing a breast on television, argue that access to that type of material should be denied to responsible adults, rather than requiring those adults with children to have to learn about personal responsibility. Wisely the Supreme Court said no, children can and should be protected, but adults can and must be able to live in an adult world."
Parents need to watch their kids, and not expect the rest of us to do it for them.
