But that was the whole point of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 and CDA 
II that was enacted this year, Jeanie: to make the Internet *safe* for 
8-year-olds. Of course, it also means adults will have to dumb down to a second 
grade education level, which will put them about on par with the average 
Congressman.

With the federal government pumping billions of dollars (in my view misplaced 
dollars) into the public schools to upgrade their Net access, you can be sure 
much more stringent laws will be coming soon. Already, schools are being told 
they have to install blocking software or lose any federal money for Net access.
