Absolutely. Every day I read something I would otherwise have no idea about. Where would we be without Freerepublic?

We have a rule in my house. No books, DVD's, tapes, or CD's come into my home unless I have OK'd them. Doesn't matter where they come from. If I find one it is thrown out right then and the offending party is disciplined. I once read/watched/listened to them all, but alas there are now too many of them submitting requests, but I do look at them all, and I still listen to ALL music.
My 6 year old lost a school book like that last year because I found it and it didn't have Dad's seal on it. That one I had to replace - my own rule bit me on that one.
Anyway, my childrens teachers all know not to spring something new on them.
My daughters best friend is forbidden to bring music to my house (she lost a CD also once). She listens to garbage.

Seems to work for us ... so far

Cordially,
