I stand corrected on this.  I knew there was an indeceny act being 
signed, but didn't know they were going to include the word abortion in 
it.  But this is primarily targeted towards minors getting ahold of this, 
doesn't it?

My boss and I sat down with a WebBrowser one day, and just wanted to see 
how easy it was to find dirty pictures on the Net, without knowing any 
specific sites to search for.  It took him nearly 45 minutes to find 
something, just through randomly bouncing around sites.  How is it that a 
10 year can find this stuff so easily?

I'm sure everyone else probably feels the same about this, but shouldn't 
it be the parents' responsibility to keep an eye on what their kids are 
reading, not the government's?

Well, this is going to make my decision easier in November!
