Protect? Or Censor? Can It Be Effective? Or Just Window Dressing To
'Please the Folks Back Home'? Was this billing in planning or just a
knee-jerk reaction to the Connecticut tragedy? Is ACLU opposition
well-thought out? Or Just Knee-Jerk? How will the Federal Government
"oversee"? Is this just step 1 for the Federal Government "overseeing the
Internet"? How old will kids be when they want to bolt from .kids and talk
about sex? Will Parents think that this is the total answer (it's not;
parents are the untimate answer; this may or may not help)?

A lot of questions --
