Protecting Children from Free Speec.. Indecent Programming Act

[tsg]

My parents had a effective means of controlling what I watched on TV as a child, they changed the channel. Of course, the family only had one TV in the house, and that TV only picked up five channels so the problem of what I watched was a little easier then, than the same problem today.

I think George Carlin's line explains this the best (although he was talking about radio, it still applies): "There are two knobs on it. One changes the station, the other turns it off completely. Although I can understand their discomfort with anything that has two knobs on it."
