Yeah, such legislation would almost definitely be unconstitutional; but some sort of legalist slurry, similar to the one that made 'obscenity' mysterious-but-constitutionally-unprotected, would almost certainly have been emitted and might well have worked.

As long as it didn't actually ban anything, why would a labelling law be unconstitutional?

Also, it only covers 'indecency', not 'obscenity', which you used, but most people don't realize that the FCC's power to restrict content on OTA stations (basic cable & satellite are _voluntarily_ following approximately the same standards) between 6AM to 10PM. Late nights, your stations _could_ be airing indecent stuff if they wanted to.

Absolutely not.

In theory, I want people to want to vote.

But hey, if you're too lazy/stupid to vote, better for me, since my vote then "matters more".

(BTW, I purposely don't vote on a lot of things, from propositions I don't know enough about or care either way, or most local political votes.)

Never really made it off the desktop?

This thread is about such a "made it off" release, plus a previous version has been on iOS for quite a while. I've been using it for a year or two on iOS.. (I use it to watch documentaries and news shows faster than realtime, just like how I listen to podcasts.)
