I am very concerned about the children, and what they see on the net.

But I must say that, what the government is doing is wrong.  Forcing those
who
have web sites to either, clean up their sites and keep them clean, or shut
the sites down.
Unfortunetly, this would be only the frosting on the cake.  This would allow
the government to censor any web site legit or not, to what they believe is
right.

This bill could also put restrictions to what we say, such as, no foul
languages, words, thoughts, and on, and on, and on.  So much for freedom of
speech.

If I remember correctly, this is very much like 'taxation without
representation' which caused the Boston Tea Party.  This was not on my
ballot
the last time we voted.
So much for a government for the people and by the people.

Now I do agree that warning labels or a web page requiring a name and
password, an example would be Adultcheck, is an excellent way to keep
children
out.  But it is STILL the responsibility of the parents to teach the child,
watch the child, and restrict the child's viewing on the net.

After all the government hides information from us every day, every time
they
open their mouths.  For those who speak the truth, the WHOLE truth, and
nothing but the truth, are exempt from that list.

Sorry I went a little overboard.  Ayyyyyy. Splash.

But seriously, I've seen children in movie theaters watching a movie, with
more sex, nudity, blood, and gore.  Then I have seen on the net.  Although
last night I did come across a web page that should be removed.  It had NO
entertainment value, no moral value.  Now wait a minute please.  The site
was
not about sex, not about nudity, not about blood, and not about gore.  It
was
so gross, I almost thew up.

Now I know how Jake felt, when he discovered the sk adult site, and someone
suggesting he was a female.  And I liked that story.

So I suggest if you are reading this huge note, you get intouch with your
senator, and to have him/her vote against this bill.
