I do my best to watch my language around kids.

Unfortunatly, there is a case of two evils. You got the inyerfacers that use the gay lobby tactics, and you got the govt thugs.

Now, at least the in yer facers can't put a gun to my head with the force of law over speech content. The govt thugs can.

Also, what is indecent? Who decides it? I certainly don't want Janet Reno or someone like that deciding. AOL calls guns porn. Another internet filter censores pro-gun sites too.

There's always the law of unintended consequences.

While saying you in my post, I did not intentionally mean yourself or anyone else posting here. My appologies for any offence.

Also, what is indecent? Who decides it?

Most people know what is indecent. I believe that you could even get a majority to agree to what is indecent.

There's always the law of unintended consequences.

A good example of the law of unintended consequences would be this same vulgarity that is written about in this article. I don't think the founding fathers ever meant for free speech to be pornigraphic.
