Why? When did self responsibility NOT become a conservative value? Not having a computer would solve the problem. Locking the computer with a password when/if kids are home alone costs nothing. The left continually argues that the government should take care of this or that so we don’t have to pay for it. Our children are ours. If it requires an extra expense, so be it. You can’t legislate morality, nor should you. That’s best left for the Taliban. You can TEACH values. Think about it...a government that can regulate what is viewed on the public Internet can decide who can be on the public airways as well. It’s a slippery slope. Besides, what do you do with porn that comes from other countries or whose servers reside outside of the US. Is he going to police the world?

“You can’t legislate morality”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

I cringe every time I hear that. It’s a liberal lie. You can, you must, you will legislate morality.

Obammie, Sloe Joe, Hillary... they are legislating morality right now. As we FReep.

You can legislate morality. The question is.. WHO’S MORALITY?

Handing your child a computer and internet with no controls (which are easily available to get) and then demanding that the Feds censor it to protect them for you is like handing your kid a loaded handgun with the safety on and then demanding federal gun control laws to protect him from it.
