I suppose I could take the amish line. People with their own communities making their own decisions and not relying on the government to raise their kids, not engaging in watching television, or going to plays. Self censorship en masse for like minded people who mind their own business.

They aren't passing laws for everyone, or even setting up legal structures, they provide for one another in an environment where you are free to escape to the outside world and do the things those people do.

Take kids out of the schools, don't watch tv (unless it's fox news or foodtv), pour your money into land and your own culture where those who are like minded can exist together and grow. This way one could prove their way is better as there would be less crime, nicer people, and better educated people.

Of course, just hope and pray Janet reno does not get back in power!

Or, how about a more rational, very "time-tested" and effective approach.

How about if I am able to live in a normal community, in which I have the right to expect that I, and my children are not exposed to things which are considered immoral or repugnant by me, and most of the other people in the communtity in which I have chosen to live (as have they). And the we, collectively, have the right to decide what is acceptable. And that we create laws to define that. And we elect people to enforce it with the authority of law.

It's really very simple.

This is NOT in the least about Janet Reno,the First Ammendment(which is abolut protecting nonseditious news reporting and NOT porn!),the Clintons,the DNC,or anything else you mistakenly szeem to fear.

It is not only impractical for everyone who doesn't like porn/pervesty/PCism/foul language/etc. to pull their kids out of school,nolt watch T.V.,and go off and live like reculeses,far away from the madding throng.The government,Fed,state,and local,used to have plenty of laws, which kept most of the garbage away from America's populace in general and from children completely.There's NO good reason NOT to go back to that.

......take the amish line. ..... pour your money into land and your own culture....

I have a better idea. Since there are more of us who want to protect our kids from smut than there are pornaholics .... then instead of your idea of forcing those with my viewpoint to buy land and create little Amishvilles all over the place, why don't we instead let our side keep our current communities relatively porn free, and we'll make the other side spend THEIR money on land, out of which they can create little Smutvilles and Pornvilles dotting the landscape?
