I find it surprising that people who would restrict their child's
access to certain TV programming so that the child is not exposed to
violence, sex or whatever would turn around and let the same child
have unsupervised access to a computer and the Internet.  It's along
the lines of "I don't know what's in this bottle, but drink it
anyway."
