This hearing is >entitled "Chatting On-Line: A Dangerous Proposition for Children." Geee ... with a hearing-title like that ... do ya think maybe it'll be a biased, prejudicial, "loaded" hearing? Huh? Huh? Do ya?! <sigh> --jim Demagogue politicians need to make sure there are specters of terrifying devils to horrify us. Otherwise, we would too-easily be horrified by the politicians. --- From: "Thomas Leavitt" <thomasleavittat_private> To: declanat_private Subject: Re: FC: Feds take matters firmly in hand: Hearing on "Chat Room Dangers" Date: Tue, 07 May 2002 15:08:15 -0700 How about this: "Unsupervised Conversations With Complete Strangers: A Dangerous Proposition for Children" or better yet: "Tips and Techniques for Responsible Parenting: Supervising Your Child's On and Off-line Activities To Ensure Appropriate Behavior" or even better: "The Off Button: The Ultimate Tool for Parental Control" and finally: "Responsible Parenting: Getting To Know Your Children and Their Friends" All much more appropriate topics of discussion, IMHO.
