Must be an election year.
Here's an idea. Dismantle the FCC, privatize the airways, and allow what's left of the FCC to regulate signal strength and conflicts.
Allow the market to hash out the rest.

Didn't the government fix this when they passed the "v-chip" law? Why do they need to put large fines on programs to "protect children" when parents can supposedly already block those shows quite easily?

Darn. From the title, I thought it was going to mandate more indecency.
To: Paul678
great news. Now it needs to be expanded to cable and the internet.

"Now it needs to be expanded to cable and the Internet."
I agree. I don't feel comfortable being able to decide for myself what to look at on cable and the Internet. I need the government making sure I'm not offended.

Must be an election year. Every other year is an election year. Do you propose that we only allow legislation in non-election years?
I admit I like the idea if only to cut down on the number of laws passed

Yeah...
This site is nothing but a non-stop assault upon the public's sense of propriety and decency.

As for myself, I feel perfectly comfortable deciding what to look at on TV and the internet. However, I don't feel as comfortable with some of the choices others may make in that regard. I say put somebody in charge. Somebody like me.

Now, now, that makes entirely too much sense. When Republicans stood for smaller government it might have worked. But not now.
To: balch3
Uh, no. As far as both cable and the internet go, they have all those net blockers and they have V-chips. Now, we've utilized neither, but then again, it's our choice. The central government has no business telling me how to raise my children, has no business telling me what I am to watch and it has no business telling me what I can or cannot access online.

And watch the numbers spiral down....At least it didn't take me by surprise, since Bush is an old school Southern Democrat, a Republican in name only.

""I believe that government has a responsibility to help strengthen families," said George W. Bush in a statement." I'd have thought our tradition was more the other way around.

Yes, because all our fingers that would normally click the "off" button have been broken.
Thanks goodness for Big Mama Government to save me from myself. /s

"From the title, I thought it was going to mandate more indecency."
A really good indecency act would not contain anything printable at all, beyond indentations at the beginning of its paragraphs, commas and periods. It would be @#$&! throughout.

Oh boy, more Nanny State operations.....

Remind me again, which side is for smaller government?

If the House could only legislate during one of their two years maybe it would be better if that was the election year. Then they might actually keep their constituents in mind.
