I second the motion. Now, if naked people and their babies could decide, in a timely manner,which one of two ways to express themselves (verbally - oral/written, or non-verbally) the discrepancies between what they 'said' and what they 'meant' would no longer be an issue or tie up the courts. Oops. I'm a man and I said something... does that make me wrong?

Neither to condemn nor defend those who use the stuff, but said legislation, Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today's Youth Act, smacks to me of the same methods and means as the Marijuana Tax Act.

Further, the "act" from the same "key" legislators having thus far failed to equate the dangers and responsibilties of navigating the information "superhighway" with real roads, real cars, and real dangerous drivers;
The simplest solution (Achem's Razor) would be to take the internet away from kids until they're old enough to drive.

"Get me a beer" does not mean "drink it for me, too."
Pressing keys with a beer bottle or a pen/pencil as an extension of your hand is a binding action;
inviting a child or other "living extension" to participate is simply a matter of convenience, not
a legal remedy.

Does this mean we get solar power 1,000 times cheaper? 1,000 times sooner? Panels, 1,000 times smaller, yet generating equal output? I remember, in the 1970's (you know, before the turn of the century) "they" told us nuclear energy plants would provide electricity for "virtually free..." If it isn't one thing, it's another. I'm still waiting.

Unlike IE, I don't support Microsoft - which, in turn, means I don't support 'MS-in-particular' financially - but, I will NEVER part with my Win2K; to do so would be like DELIBERATELY not wearing a condom, with intent to break in the newbies, afterward.

People, just to give Mr. Big something to bitch about, I uninstall/roll-back to the earliest version of IE I can, as soon as I successfully install whatever/whomever. If ANYTHING, IE7 support is necessary ONLY for shady business dealings, shadier survey sites and shadiest of all, porn codecs to make Hefner look like a gentleman.

Maybe if you grew up on something else your sensitivities would amount to more than those of a 14th-century door-to-door apple salesman and your Lady Love could be regarded as someone/something other than, "MS. PROXY."
