I guess then that there's absolutely nothing wrong with Michelle Obama saying what school children should eat at school? After all, many parents give their kids foods that are unhealthy. If it is ok for Santorum to step in because 'the gross majority of parents do not' put anti-porn filters on the Internet, then it's ok if Michelle steps in for healthy eating, right? It's all for the children. /s

That is different, because it directly affects them and even the indirect effects on other people’s children are very, VERY small.
There are all sorts of things the government controls to ensure society does not completely collapse. It’s why there is a cover on “girlie” magazines at grocery stores, and why you have to be over 18 to go to a strip club or drink. There are some very limited aspects of life that the government does control insomuch as it tries to protect children’s bodies and minds from serious corruption before they reach adulthood, becoming the next generation of “responsible” adults. Pr)n is one of those limited areas.
We have a “limited” government. Not NO government. This is ONE area I would like to see them really crack down.
