I do my best to watch my language around kids.

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.

Wasn't offended. I just wanted to make sure we are clear.

After what I saw from AOL, Symtanec(sp), and who knows what else, I have to disagree. I think you and I are probably close to agreement on what is in certain circumstances, but when bureaucrats get involved, only God knows what will happen.

True, but I also think the Founding Fathers also know about governmental restraint.
